On page 17 a "Delosperma congesta" is shown. This plant is commercially available as D. lineare , D. dyeri and other names. But all these names are utter nonsense. It is probable that the plant in the photo is Delosperma nubigenum (of commerce), but this is probably not a genuine Delosperma nubigenum.
The name "Delosperma congesta" is not taxonomically correct.
It should be D. congestum.
But that would be a different plant (http://www.fgas-sukkulenten.de/index.php?view=detail&id=741&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=85&lang=de).
Unfortunately this is not the only plant that is sold entirely under a false name : If sales are falling, it must be given a new name.
I apologise for the misprint of
D.congesta that was my typing!

I must admit to a great confusion myself as to the identification of these Delosperma species ... as others also find, I believe. I will raise the question with the author.
This is the photo in question.......

Certainly this plant has long been in cultivation under the name of
D. congestum ![Lips sealed :-X](http://www.srgc.org.uk/forum/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif)
Entschuldigen Sie mir, bitte, für die Druckfehler der D.congest
a, dass meine Eingabe war zu !
Ich habe eine große Verwirrung um die Identifizierung dieser Delosperma Arten ... wie andere auch, glaube ich. Ich werde die Frage mit dem Autor zu erhöhen.
I hope my German is understandable!
