roots); Ieaves usually terete-subulate, * conspic-uously spurred at base; inflorescences t elongatethyrsoids, often spike- or raceme-like, with6-70(-150) cincinnoid partial inflorescences with1-5(-8) flowers; sepals (almost) free, (always?)spurred at base; petals connate at base, lobesspreading to reflexed or erect, whitish to pink orreddish; stylodia t recurved; fruits erect. n = 9-17,20-22,33 and higher. About 21 species in southernUSA (south-western Texas), Mexico, Guatemala(Baja Yerapaz), Peru, at (600-)1,500-4,000 m.

Divided into seven informal species groups(Thiede in Eggli 2003). Appears to be closest toSedum sect. Fruticisedum (IJhl and Moran, l.c.).Täxa formerly classified in sect. Altamiranoa arenow placed in Sedum (Moran 1996; Thiede and't Hart 1999).

Herbs, roots fibrous or thickened; leaves decussatein few basal pairs, elliptic, roundish or rhombic;inflorescences thyrsoids with several cincinni,narrow thyrsoids of compact cincinni or reducedto racemes or spikes above or throughout; sepalserect or ascending, nearly equal, * as long as opencorolla; petals in upper half spreading to recurved,(ob)lanceolate, yellow(ish); stamens slightlyexserted; nectary scales subquadrate; carpelserect, narrog tapering into slender stylodia; fruitserect. n -- 22,32,33,44. Seven species, from USA(southern Texas) and north-eastern Mexico.

Genera 25-28

Stems at least basally woody, but many taxa withsessile rosettes; leaves usually thick and stronglysucculent, in t distinct rosettes; inflorescences lat-eral; petals at least basally connate. x - 30-34 withsecondary reductions. Centred in Mexico.

According to molecular data (Mort et al.2001), these genera form a distinct Americanclade (--'Echeveria group'), together with Sedumsect. Pachysedum. The latter shares the abovecharacters, except for its choripetalous flowers.

Eighteenspecies, USA (central and southern Arizona),Mexico (widespread from Sonora and Chihuahuato Oaxaca); rocky places, to 2,400 m.

Divided into sect. Byrnesia and sect. Grap-topetalum (incl. Tacitus). According to moleculardata, Graptopetalum and its sections are not mono-phyletic, and Tacitus, Cremnophila (= Sedum)and selected species of Sedum and Echeveria areinterspersed among its species (Acevedo et al. l.c.).

Divided into sections Diotostemon and Pachy-phytum (Thiede in Eggli 2003). The morphology ofthe petal scales was studied by Leinfellner (195a);similar scales also occur in som e Echeveria spe-cies. Pachyphytum maybe nested within Echeveriaand closest to its sect. Urceolatae (Thiede in Eggli2003).

epidermal cells with sinuate anticlinal walls,often (always?) with bladder-cells idioblasts' usu-ally completely drought-deciduous; inflorescencesthyrsoids with one to several dichasia; petals white,greenish, yellowish or mauve, rarely reddish; fila-ments usually exserted, hairy where connate withcorolla tube; fruits follicles, dehiscing apicallyonly; seeds with irregular costae. Forty-six species,winter-rainfall regions of Namibia and SouthAfrica, mainly Succulent Karoo. Growing seasonautumn to early summer; flowering t in summer.

Sister to Cotyledon, according to moleculardata (Mort et al. 2001). The two genera have incommon basally hairy fi.laments.

Procumbent to erect shrublets to shrubs, rarely

climbers; stems usually becoming woody; leaves

decussate, flat or terete, rarely lobed or orbicular,

glabrous or (glandular) hairy; inflorescences thyr-

soids with several dichasia, ending in monochasia

with one to many pendent flowers; corolla tube

hairy or glabrous; dried calyxlcorolla complex cir-

cumscissile along basal groove; filaments exserted,hairy where connate with corolla tube; carpels ta-

pering into erect stylodia;nectary scales * cuplike.

n = g.Eleven species, southern and eastern tropicalAfrica, south-western Arabian Peninsula.

According to molecular data (Levsen et al., l.c.),

the variable Cotyledon orbiculataL. is polyphyletic.

The circumscissile calyx/corolla complex present

in all Cotyledon is found also in at least some TyIe-

codon and Kalanchoe spp. (Moran 2000), and may

represent a synapomorphy for these three genera.

Leaves decussate*, rarely ternate or whorled; flow-

nucellus tenuinucellate*; fruits opening * com-

pletely along whole suture, but releasing seeds

through apical pore*; seeds sinuate-unipapil late*.Genera 33 + 34.Note that Crassuloideae are morphologically

highly derived, although cladistically they are the

first clade branching off from the remainder of the

Perennial or rarely annual herbs to (sub)shrubs,rarely tuberous geophytes; glabrous, papillateor hairy; leaves decussate or rarely in whorlsof 4, partly with bladder-cell idioblasts and leafbases connate within a pair (usually in subg.Crassula); inflorescences thyrsoids with 1 tomany dichasia, sometimes partial inflorescencesglomerate, monochasia or reduced to solitaryflowers; corolla urn-shaped to tubular or stellate;flowers (2-)5(-12)-merous, usually small; sepalsshortly connate at base; petals shortly connate

at base, partly with apex papillate on outer faceand with distinct appendage (usually in subg.Crassula) often * whitish; filaments shortly adnateto petals at base and alternate with these; carpelsusually free; fruits rarely nutlike and indehiscent.n = 8,7 and polyploids. About 195 species; mainlysouthern Africa, a few species in sub-SaharanAfrica and south-western Arabia, some ephemeralherbs ('TiIIaea') distributed worldwide, and theoniy genus of the family in Australia.

Divided into the paraphyletic subg. Disporo-carpa with nine sections (hydathodes of type I,rarely type II; n = 8, rarely 7) and subg. Crassulawith eleven sections (hydathodes of type IIl' n - 7with two satellites; Friedrich 1.973; Toelken 1977l.c.; Martin and von Willert 2000). The ephemeralherbs of sects. Helophytum and Glomeratae, oftensegregated as genu s Tillaea, are nested within Cras-sula, according to molecular data ('t Hart unpubl.data).

Hypagophytum A. Berger in Engler & Prantl, Nat. Pflanzen-fam., ed. 2, l8a:467-468 (1930); Gilbert, Opera Bot.12r:47-50 (1993).

Tuberous geophytes; stems one to few, drought-deciduous; leaves ternate, sessile or with petiole-like base, somewhat spurred at base, flat;inflorescences usually with 3 monochasia belowterminal flower; flowers 10-l2-merous, stellate;sepals free; petals white or with faint pink tinge;carpels free, laterally compressed, constricted intotwo segments, upper part spiny-papillate, withlong filiform stylodia; fruits 2-seeded, breakingtransversely at the constriction, upper seeddispersed within the upper part of the carpel,lower seed released separately. Only 1 species,H. abyssinicum (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) A. Berger innorth-western Ethiopian highlands.

Characterised by a unique combination of spe-cialised features, which all occur in Crassula (tu-bers with annual shoots, whorled leaves, hydath-odes along leaf margins, haplostemonous and poly-merous flowers, and the peculiar fruits). The seedsurface structure was given as costate by Gilbert(1989 and l.c.) and Knapp (1994), which prompted't Hart (1995: 169) to place the genus in his 'Se-

doideae'. However, according to Knapp (1997), theseed surface structure in fact corresponds to thesinuate-papillate (Crassula-) type, clearly favour-ing the placement in Crassuloideae. Hypagophy-tum may be nested within Crassula and closest to
