Nemrut Dag

Nemrut Dag near Malatya in Turkey is a habitat of S. davisii.

I thing that the true name is Nemrut Dagi

Yes, you are right - turkish name is Nemrut Dağı ,
but this 2.134 m high mountain in southeaster Turkey is also called simply Nemrut or Nemrud.

Dagi in turkish names means simply "mountain".

And yes - I still try to figure out why most people use word "dag" instead of "dagi".


S. davisii ex Nemrut dagi is found in collections under name Nemrut Dag (as a in cultivars!).

Is it S. davisii. I'm not sure !
I have 5 different forms of S. davisii and for me S. sp. Nemrut Dagi is not S. davisii

Do you have S. sp. Nemrut Dagi?

I think it's the same plant with different names

I have Nemrut Dag (from a Slovene grower - which means source is everything but reiable!) and the poor plant reproduces very very slowly, the loses during winters are but huge ... Have only one rosette left! :scratch: It even looks poor!

A family member bought a plant for me at a rock-plant market in the Netherlands. It is labelled Sempervivum sp. coll. Nettrutdag. I cannot find this locality with Google, but the same plant is mentioned on a Dutch forum. I assume that it is a misspelling and could this be the same plant?

I compared the plant with photo's on the German database and it looks correct, even though my plant is small and very pale because of a lack of light. It is very likely grown by Bart Moerland/Alpigena nursery from the Netherlands. So I'll put it in my personal database under a corrected name with a note about the misspelling.
