Hermine says in her book that S. patens was found in the Koko Crater in
Hawaii. In the 1992 US Cactus & Succulent Journal (page 232) Marilyn
Rossovich says that Ed Eby rescued the plant and from a single plant,
because of his skill as a propagator, made it available to collectors. This
is a fascinating story, and not being a botanist I had understood you
couldn't get seed from offsets of the one plant. I hope I am wrong - does
anyone know? And is Ed Eby still around?
