Gasteria is a genus of 23 species of succulent plants indigenous to South Africa with all except one being endemic to South Africa. Closely related genera include Aloe, Astroloba and Haworthia. The genus name Gasteria is named for its stomach-shaped flowers. In Greek, gaster, means belly, and alludes to the swollen base of the flower. The genus is part of the family Asphodeloideae. Common names include cow-tongue cactus, lawyer's tongue, mother-in-law's tongue and ox-tongue. Gasteria species are grown in well-drained, sandy soils in light shade. Gasteria species thrive in cultivation both indoors and outdoors, used as potted plants or in outdoor rockeries and are tolerant of a wide range of soils and habitats. The flowers attract birds to the garden during spring. Germination usually occurs within 8 days but may take as long as one month depending on the species. With their ability to grow under lower light conditions they are easily grown and maintained in cultivation. Gasterias are used in various traditional medicines. In the Eastern Cape Gasteria excelsa and Gasteria croucheri are occasionally put on the roofs of homes to stop lightning from striking the house. There are also reports that the plants are used during faction fighting in a belief that it will make them invisible to their enemies.

The genus Aloinopsis is relatively small and occurs mostly in the Eastern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa, extending slightly into the southern part of the Northern Cape Province. One species is found in the north-eastern corner of the Northern Cape Province. Rainfall is sparse throughout the range. The genus Aloinopsis is a group of South African Indigenous mesembs that belongs to the Aizoaceae family. The genus name means “similar to aloe ”. Aloinopsis plants have a rather large tuberous root system, called a caudex, and are occasionally cultivated for the look of the caudex which can form the most unusual shapes. They also tend to grow more rosettes when they are raised. Many species have rough-surfaced, spoon-shaped leaves that grow in small rosettes. The roots are thick and the flowers are often striped with red. Aloinopsis are sometimes confused with Titanopsis, but the genus Titanopsis lack striped flowers. Aloinopsis are popular among collectors. Aloinopsis villetii is endemic to Bushmanland, South Africa and looks a little like a Titanopsis with its spotted textured leaves with dense white tubercles. During summer it bears beautiful fragrant honey scented pale yellow flowers with copper-red tips. It clumps over time producing dense mats like other Aloinopsis. It is best planted in pots.

Satyrium longicauda var longicauda Seeds   Satyrium is widespread in temperate and montane Africa, and two species are to be found in Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Burma). The genus comprises about 90 species of orchids, of which 37 are found in South Africa. With their small non-resupinate flowers (lip facing up) Satyrium species do not really look 'orchid-like'. The African species of the genus grow in fynbos, grassland and miombo woodland, and can sometimes be found in extensive and dense colonies of thousands of individuals, particularly in the year after a veld fire. Most species are pollinated by moths which are attracted by the evening-scented flowers, but pollination by carrion flies and bees also occurs in the genus. Carrion fly-pollinated Satyrium flowers emit an unpleasant carrion-like odour. Flies, apparently hoping to find a dead animal to lay their eggs in, are attracted by these flowers and pollinate them. An exciting find was the recent discovery that three South African Satyrium species are pollinated by sunbirds. Satyrium longicauda var longicauda commonly known as Blushing Bride Satyrium, Langsterttrewwa or Long-tailed Trewwa is a South African indigenous species from the Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, Mpumalanga and Western Cape Provinces where it can be found growing from Plettenberg Bay to tropical Africa. It is normally encountered in Albany Thicket, Fynbos and Savanna. It grows to 40 cm tall. This summer rainfall species has white or pink sweetly scented flowers during summer. The tuberous roots are edible and also used as love charms. Growing orchids from seed is a fairly specialized undertaking and it requires a bit of understanding of tissue culture techniques. If you have never grown orchids from seed we recommend that before attempting this you should first contact your local Orchid Society, or purchase a book on the subject, or both!
