Two types of Orthophytum's

I thought this was useful information so I'm adding it to this blog. With a few updates.

 Some Orthophytum's do not flower on a flower stem like the Orthophytum above.

Orthophytum sanguinea

Only about 16 out of 79 flower like this as far as I can tell. They are:

1. Orthophytum albopictum

2. Orthophytum amoenum

3. Orthophytum burle-marxii

4. Orthophytum hatschbachii

5. Orthophytum heleniceae

6. Orthophytum humile

7. Orthophytum mucugense

8. Orthophytum mucugense

9. Orthophytum navioides

10. Orthophytum ophiuroides

11. Orthophytum pseudovagans

12. Orthophytum rafaelii

13. Orthophytum roseum

14. Orthophytum ulei

15. Orthophytum vagans

16. Orthophytum zanonii

No longer a Orth.

Orthophytum supthutii

Now it's called Lapa duartei

UPDATE 7/27/14

I put this list on Facebook back in April and received this reply

 "Sascha Heller

Correctly. there is a conspicuous differentiation in Orthophytum. And there is also a close link to Cryptanthus. Currently some Colleagues and I are working on a taxonomical improvement. There will be a few new genera coming up,"

 I don't know if that’s a good thing or not.

Maybe they will look at Hechtia's as well. Their are some that flower on a stem and some that don't
