Albert Pritchard, well known by the CACTUS & Co. members as the author of Introduction on the Euforbiaceae, has been, with his wife Daphne, a deep amateur and skinned grower of many species of this family. Unfortunately he’s gone away few months ago, before seeing this book printed. All our condoleances to the Albert’s family.

This work certainly fills a gap in the field of the succulents: the genus Monadenium, very few dealed in the letterature or, often, only a chapter of very expensive publications covering several genera. Albert Pritchard offers clear notes in alfabetical order of those so interesting plants and he has been capable in finding beautiful pictures of almost of all the described species…not so easy, indeed!

The notes on the species end with simple but careful cultivation tips and an Index of names related with his proposal, agreed by several students, of putting the genus Monadenium in Euphorbia.
