Hi, I love Fouquieria. I just finally recently picked up a Purpusii this week, and I've had Splendens, Macdougalii, Ochoterenae , and Columnaris for about a year now.
I've read "A Taxonomic Revision of the Fouquieriaceae
, by James Henrickson" multiple times. Any other books anyone could suggest? A quick Google search shows "Robert, Scott The Genus Fouquieria" but I can't find anywhere to purchase or download (only a signed copy on Amazon for 200$).

Re: Books
The book you reference is more a parody of a book. There is Fouq info and snaps, but all kinds of misinformation, misidentified pictures, typos, etc. The pages aren't even in order. I swear I'm not making this up. It is truly hilarious.Beau wrote: ↑Wed Jan 01, 2025 3:53 am Hi, I love Fouquieria.
