To gene bank visitors We have at our disposal many vine-cactus genotypes whose characteristics and behaviors we have been investigating since 1984. We recently decided to upload these descriptions to my homepage for the use of anyone who is interested. The different species in our possession constitute three genera, Hylocereus, Selenicereus, and Epiphyllum. We also found that interspecific and intergeneric hybrids can be feasibly produced. In such cases that we were unable to define the species, after the genus we add the “sp”. The intergeneric hybrids include a cross between S. megalanthusand S. grandifloroussince some people believe that the megalanthus belongs to the Hylocereus genus. In the Selenicereus megalanthus collection, we have over 30clones, all look exactly the same with no phenotypic differences, hence, we present pictures of only one genotype which represent all. Two additional numbers were included for each genotype to help us distinguish among the genotypes and to allow offspring lineage to be easily traced back to the parent plants. In some cases, we do not have the complete set of pictures to describe the genotype, but during the next season, we hope to complete our photographic record and upload all missing pictures. The information on this Website was prepared by Mr. Joseph Mouyal of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. |
