The two newly named species both belong to the genus, Dudleya, which Stephen McCabe has been studying for more than 40 years.
SANTA CRUZ — Emeritus Director of Research at theStephen McCabe has recently described and named two new species of succulent plants, which he found growing on a remote island off the coast of Baja California.
“They became like pet rocks,” said McCabe. “The middle and upper classes, particularly in China, wanted a Dudleya pachyphytum or Dudleya farinosa for their windowsill and they are willing to pay outrageous prices for them.” “I had to drive 1,000 miles just to get to the airport to fly out to the island,” said McCabe. “It’s so remote that people haven’t been able to visit very often, but it really helps to see the plants in the wild to understand whether or not you have something new.”
McCabe mentioned that not only is Delgadillo an accomplished botanist and teacher, he also helped McCabe in a big way when he was in a bind.
