Jatropha cathartica and Haworthia venosa ssp. tesselata var. simplex

I should have noted a few days ago when I posted Jatropha berlandieri (Torrey 1858) that this is an invalid synonym for Jatropha cathartica (Teran & Berlandier 1832). Since J. cathartica has priority, it would be the correct name. Old habits are sometimes hard to change.

With that said, here's a new photo of Haworthia venosa ssp. tesselata var. simplex. Of course, there is no variety simplex. Or, at least, it's not accepted as a variety by most anyone.  It's just a part of the variability of the sub-species tesselata. Be that as it may, it's a nice variation.

Jatropha berlandieri

We've always had a soft spot for this odd little creature...Jatropha berlandieri, It's just coming out of dormancy for us and grows it's green growth very rapidly at this time of year.

I'll be trying to get some new photos soon as I'm now feeling a lot better.
