Adromischus is a genus of flowering plants. They are easily-propagated, leaf succulents from the family Crassulaceae, which are endemic to southern Africa. The name comes from the ancient Greek adros (=thick) and mischos (=stem).[1]

Species

The species of Adromischus are divided into five sections, based on their shared characteristics and relationships:[2][3]

Section 1 (Adromischus)

Flowers of a Section 1. species (Adromischus filicaulis)

Flowers bright green, tubular, with short, wide, triangular, recurved lobes. Anthers protrude from a flower tube. Indigenous mainly to the western, winter-rainfall regions of South Africa.

Section 2 (Boreali)

Grooved, tubular flowers, with ovate-triangular, recurved lobes that are undulated on the margins. Anthers protrude from flower tube. Indigenous to the arid, summer-rainfall interior of Southern Africa.

  • Adromischus schuldtianus
    • Adromischus schuldtianus subs. juttae[6]
    • Adromischus schuldtianus subs. brandbergensis[7]
  • Adromischus trigynus[8]
  • Adromischus umbraticola
    • Adromischus umbraticola subs. ramosus[9]

Section 3 (Brevipedunculati)

Grooved, funnel-shaped flowers with acuminate-triangular, widely spreading lobes, born on long stalks. Inflorescence branched. Usually spreading or stoloniferous plants.

  • Adromischus caryophyllaceus
  • Adromischus diabolicus
  • Adromischus fallax
  • Adromischus humilis
  • Adromischus nanus
  • Adromischus phillipsiae

Section 4 (Incisilobati)

Flowers of a Section 4. species (Adromischus triflorus)

Tubular flowers with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes. Plants with short, compact, upright stems.

  • Adromischus halesowensis
  • Adromischus inamoenus
  • Adromischus maculatus
  • Adromischus mammilaris
  • Adromischus maximus
  • Adromischus sphenophyllus
  • Adromischus triflorus

Section 5 (Longipedunculati)

Flowers of a Section 5. species (Adromischus marianae)

Pale or pubescent inflorescence with elongated, lanceolate-triangular lobes.

  • Adromischus cooperi
  • Adromischus cristatus
    • Adromischus cristatus var. clavifolius
    • Adromischus cristatus var. mzimvubuensis
    • Adromischus cristatus var. schonlandii
    • Adromischus cristatus var. zeyheri
  • Adromischus leucophyllus
  • Adromischus marianiae
    • Adromischus marianiae var. hallii
    • Adromischus marianiae var. immaculatus[10]
    • Adromischus marianiae var. kubusensis[11]
    • Adromischus marianiae 'Alveolatus'[12]
    • Adromischus marianiae 'Antidorcatum'[13]
    • Adromischus marianiae 'Bryan Makin'[14]
    • Adromischus marianiae 'Herrei'[15]

    • Adromischus marianiae 'Red Mutation'[17]
    • Adromischus marianiae 'Tanqua'[18]
  • Adromischus subviridis[19]

So-called Adromischus oviforme specimens are actually Adromischus filicaulis subsp. marlothii; Adromischus oviforme doesn't actually exist.
