Ephedra monosperma aka E. minima

I know a guy with a few Ephedra monosperma plants that were going to seed, he gave me some of the seed cones as well as a small plantlet. The plantlet isn't doing well, I think I gave it too much water when I transplanted it but the seeds are already sprouting. As it turns out E. monosperma has ~2.8% alkaloid content, more than double E. sinica and more than any other species in the genus (see attached paper).

The fleshy seed cones which I hear can be made into tea are quite beautiful when on the plant:



The separated seeds are quite large and attractive, razor blade for scale:



My E. monosperma seeds are germinating:

Nice :thumbup: I wasn't able to find those seeds for sale when I was searching a while back.

Besides the high alkaloid content I like that these are relatively small when mature unlike some other ephedras that are about meter tall.

One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree.
'Which road do I take?' she asked.
'Where do you want to go?' was his response.
'I don't know', Alice answered.
'Then', said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.'

Neat paper.

Good luck with the grow. Do they need any special conditions or care? I might wanna give those a shot. :tongue:

Not sure, from what I hear they don't like to be over watered so I've got my plantlet in 50/50 perlite potting soil which I use for all my succulents. I'm germinating them in potting soil with a bit of perlite and also clean sand, hopefully the sand wasn't too fine. I'm keeping the seedlings moist but I'm being careful not to over water and I'll back off more once they all sprout.
