pumilum (dominii)

Erwin Geiger: Konop & Konopova beschrieben 1984 eine neue Art, die kurze Zeit später zu S. pumilum gestellt wurde. Eine rare Form, die kaum in Kultur ist - eine absolute Rarität für Sammler!

Beschreibung aus: The Sempervivum Society Journal Volume 15 (1984) n° 1, S. 7:

Rosettes open, 2-3 cm in diameter, many leaved with the centre densely leaved and lax on the outside. Rosette
leaves green, pale at the base, oblanceolate, apex sub-obtuse-mucronulate, 10 mm long, 3.5 mm wide an 1.5 mm
thick, upper surface fairly flat, lower surface convex, both surfaces densely glandular-hairy, marginal cilia
glandular, unequal in length, near to apex cilia 35μm thick. Offsets on slender stolons, dark brown, up to 3 cm
long, with few leaves which soon wither, broadly lanceolate, small, densely glandular hairy, marginal cilia
glandular (cilia and apical hairs definitely thicker). Flowering stem straight 12 to 15 cm high, densely glandular
hairy. Cauline leaves erect, deltoid-lanceolate, acute, about 12 mm long, 5 mm wide and 2 mm thick, both
surfaces and cilia glandular hairy, green flushed red, manifestly red at apex. (Marginal cilia 2 to 3 times longer
near the apex than at the base). Inflorescence 5 to 7 cm in diameter, 3 branches up to 5 cm long, 12 to 18 flowers,
densely glandular hairy. Flower buds ovate. Flowers sessile, 16-18 mm diameter, 10-11 merous. Bracts linear
oblanceolate, acuminate, about 6 mm × 1 mm, at least the upper half red glandular-hairy. Calyx 5 mm long,
densely glandular-hairy, divided into 10 or 11 segments. Petals pale red with white margins and a green middle
stripe, at the base whitish with longitudinal red stripes, linear-lanceolate acute with apices recurved, about 8 mm
long and 1 mm wide, outer surface and margins glandular-hairy, (marginal cilia 2 to 3 times thicker near the
apex), inner surface glabrous. Stamens 20-22, about 4 mm long Filaments carmine, paler at the base, lower half
qlandular-hairy otherwise glabrous. Anthers broadly ovate, pale purple. Carpels green, about 3.5 mm long,
densely glandular-hairy. Styles erect, upper half glabrous, carmine. Scales obtuse-quadrate.
