Jovibarba hirta f/ Sierra Nevada

This was a gift at the recent clinic in Oregon and I need to add it to my plant list.
It was sold to gg5 by SMG and is on their web site as a "roller"
http://www.smgsucculents.com/j...
Pretty rosettes with pointed red-tipped leaves.
and just the general info on the Jovibarba type plants. I will continue to research in
order to fill in the rest of the fields.
It is a really pretty little plant.

Please add it --- I asked Greg and he told me to go ahead and add it, but I don't know what to enter in the fields.

That's @valleylynn's expertise area so we'll let her handle it.

@ValleyLynn is definitely the one who can help with this.

"Rollers" is a common name and I think but (I'm not certain) that Jovibarba is a synonym for Sempivirvum?

I know she is out and about today so will wait for her reply and will hope to learn how to do it myself.
I did try but it said I had entered something wrong soo.... here I am. Can't get past first page.

Thanks again

Really, Lynn needs to handle this. I see it has one of those unusual "f/" species names so I don't think any of us want to touch it.

I'm not certain if this will work but you might try the following:

Primary Common Name: Rollers

Accepted Botanical Name: Sempervivum hirta

Cultivar: Sierra Nevada


If that doesn't work Lynn will definitely be able to figure it out.

Ooops ... sorry. Lynn will definitely be able to get it in the database correctly.

I can wait till she is available ....Not a problem. I had thought I would contact her directly but then went ahead and posted.

It didn't accept it as Jovibarba hirta is now a synonym, it's been reclassified as Sempervivum globiferum subsp. hirtum
Here is an entry so you can see what it looks like:
Rollers (Sempervivum globiferum subsp. hirtum 'from Biele Karpaty')

You can see that 'Rollers' is used for the primary Common name. Trade name is for trademarked names so wouldn't apply here.

I'll try again ... Thanks Sue

It took it with just the genus as Sempervivum globiferum subsp. hirtum
and common name of Jovibarba hirta f/ Sierra Nevada

But did not give me a chance to add any other data. Guess we will still wait and see what the wandering @valleylynn has to say.

We'll let Lynn fix it. Rollers is supposed to be in the common name and the Jovibarba hirta gets added to the entry after it's created as a synonym. I think instead of the f/ she does the 'from Sierra Nevada' in the also sold as section so that it lines up correctly in the name. I don't even try to add those, they are trickier.

No wonder the semp peeps are all confused. But am thankful for the experts who will fix us right up.
Thanks for the advice. I was thinking anything with an asterisk was a mandatory field and tried to fill it all in

The asterisk just refers you to the note below "* An explanation of trade names and series names"

See what you get when you "assume"

Just got back home. This was sure a fun thread to read.

Jovibarba hirta f/ Sierra Nevada would go in the the 'Also sold as:'.
Common name is: Roller
Botanical name is: Sempervivum globiferum subsp. hirtum
Cultivar name: f/ Sierra Nevada
This is not an actual cultivar, it is a species that differs from other globiferum subsp. hirtum. It is the only way we could figure out how to list them. We used to do it this way:
Sempervivum globiferum subsp. hirtum f/Sierra Nevada. This way still makes more sense to me.

Here it is all fixed. Can't wait to see your photos Marilyn.
Thank you for all the help Sue, Lin and Dave.

Had a wonderful time at Kevin Vaughns gathering of locals from the Iris Society. What a nice bunch of people.

This one sure was a tricky one for all concerned. I appreciate all the feedback.
Everyone agreed. "Lynn will fix this"
