Adromischus is a genus of easily propagated leaf succulents from the Crassulaceae family. Adromischus are endemic to southern Africa. The name comes from the ancient Greek "adros" (=thick) and "mischos" (=stem).

Species

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

Section 1 (Adromischus)

Flowers bright green, tubular, with short, wide, triangular, recurved lobes. Anthers protrude from 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.

Section 3 (Brevipedunculati)

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

Section 4 (Incisilobati)

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

Section 5 (Longipedunculati)

Pale or pubescent inflorescence with elongated lanceolate-triangular lobes

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