BY MARY ANN KING Master Gardener It’s all in the way they are grouped. The gardener only needs to remember the three classifiers of genus, species and cultivar for identification purposes. A genus encompasses a group of species that are closely related. Species is a more specific classification within the genus group and can produce fertile offspring. For example in the name Sedum glaucophyllum, Sedum is the genus and glaucophyllum the species of Appalachian stonecrop that grows well in rocky alkaline soil. A cultivar further classifies the sedum that has been selected for desirable traits. With Sedum glaucophullum ‘Dazzleberry’ on the plant tag, the plant may appear burgundy instead of green. Knowing these classifications will help in understanding the difference between sedum, succulents, and cactus. The word succulent is used to describe the plant characteristic and is not a formal classification. Succulents have some parts of the leaves, roots or stems that are thickened and fleshy, and retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. Within the same genus there may also be plants with succulent attributes and a normal plant stem. Lots of plants have some succulent characteristics that allow them to adapt to dry conditions. Succulents originated in arid regions and have features that allow them to survive drought. Cactus retains water within the plant structure, which is also a succulent characteristic. Cacti commonly have thorns. Hobby cactus growers often separate cacti from succulents by presence or absence of thorns rather than strictly by the botanical classification that are sometimes harder to see. Cacti are members of Cactaceae family. Because plants may have adaptations to dry conditions that make them appear related, this adds to confusion. Sedum is a genus of flowering plants that also have the succulent characteristics of water storing leaves and stems. Sedums are part of the Crassulaceae family. Sedum is also commonly called stonecrop because of its stone like appearance. Appalachian stonecrop has a white flower. With 600 species found in the Northern Hemisphere, sedums vary from annuals, perennials, and creeping herbs to shrubs. Sedum and cactus have succulent characteristics but come from two different families within the plant hierarchy. If a gardener wishes to develop a rock garden or to grow drought resistant plants, seeking cultivars with succulent characteristics would be a good choice.

Daly references the Dec. 2013 Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidance for industry documents which outlined, among other changes, how the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) will become a critical component of food animal feed-grade antibiotic use. “The changes outlined in 2013 will remove the labeled indications for the use of many feed-grade antibiotics for growth promotion and feed efficiency,” he said. Daly further explained that each manufacturer of these products has agreed to make label changes before the full implementation date of December 2016. “Since extra-label use of feed-grade antibiotics in food animals is illegal, these uses will no longer be allowed,” he said. Another huge change outlined in the 2013 documents will change the classification of “medically important” feed-grade antibiotics from their current over-thecounter status to the VFD designation. Daly said the list of what FDA considers “medically important” antibiotics contains common drugs like tetracy- ? ANTIBIOTIC, Page 10
