Id like to mention, for all those with an admiration for Copiapoa.
Theres been a buzz in the air for the past few days about the new description of 2 new Copiapoas.
They have been described by Ingrid Schaub & Ricardo Keim (Salutes
) in the latest Cactus & Co. No1 2009
They are
Copiapoa coquimbana ssp. andina
Copiapoa schulziana
Both plants are already pictured in Rudolf Schulz's 'Copiapoa 2006' book
for those who have it.
I can offer a couple of pics now, owned by me. (not copied from elsewhere).

Very cool!
I heard about these at the CSSA convention. Rudolph Shulz had them in his presentation. I gave him my email address to forward to somebody having the v. andina seeds (maybe it was Ricardo?) but have not heard anything yet.

Is there a public place where you can read a description about these plants?

Great. Hope they stay under this classification for at least another year.
I'll bet there's more new plants to uncover, as well.
Those are nice!
