Abstract
The collection of the Mesembryanthemaceae is the largest specialized collection of the Hamburg Botanic Garden. It has been set up for the research needs of a group of systematists at the Institute of General Botany, which forms one administrative unit with the garden. The team consists of Professor Ihlenfeldt, Dr hartmann and myself together with a technical assistant and several undergraduate students, and we are concentrating chiefly on the morphological and taxonomic problems in this interesting group of succulent plants.
