去年国庆节,在北京植物园举办的“首届国际仙人掌与多肉植物展览会”上,一盆株茎硕大、模样奇特的展品吸引了众多参观者的目光(图1)。那块状的肉质植株如碧蜡浸染,蟠满盆面,株茎上错落有致地布满大大小小的圆形疣瘤,疣瘤表面又隆起许多碧绿色的小疣,顶疣有桃红色乳晕,很像是用晶莹剔透的玉石雕琢而成的工艺品(图2)。人们仔细端详,弄不清它究竟姓甚名谁?来自何方?这奇异的植物引发了我的求知欲。但展牌上除了写明编号外一片空白,询问几位展馆的工作人员,都说不太清楚。后来一位负责写标牌的人告诉我,凶为主人对该展品名称的准确性尚无绝对把握,所以暂未标明。 Last year’s National Day, held in Beijing Botanical Garden “the first International Cactus and Succulents Exhibition ”, a potted stems huge, unique exhibits attracted the attention of many visitors (Figure 1). That massive succulent plants such as wax impregnation, Pentu full basin, the stems of the stems are scattered with large and small round warts, the surface of the tumor is also raised a lot of green small verruca, the top warts are pink Areola, much like a handicrafts made of crystal clear jade (Figure 2). People look closely, can not figure out who exactly is its name from? Where? This strange plant triggered my curiosity. However, in addition to the show card number outside a blank, asked several pavilion staff, said not sure. Later, a person responsible for writing the sign told me that the fierce host is not yet sure about the accuracy of the name of the exhibit, so it has not been marked yet.
