First, delicate sea rainbow
1. Haihong Jiaoli ssp viereckii
It inhabits the limestone slopes of the Giomawe Valley south of the State of Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is a popular cultivated plant, and a few years ago, botanist Alfred Lau collected a batch of seeds, collected under the designation Lau I159, which are now widely available. However, two other botanists, Davide Donati and Carlo Zanovelo, describe the plant as T. vierecki ssp. Due to their chosen habitat and other different plants, the delicate flowers and seeds of the rainbow remain separated in their different ways. Rainbow is a very well-bred petite plant.

2. White-flowered cone jade ssp. major
It inhabits the low hills of Meyer and South of Nolegatha in nuevo León, Mexico, and near the border with San Luis Potos, north of the island of San Luis Guadalupe, and near the northeastern border with Tamaulipas in the northeastern part of the state. Botanist Alfred Lau has discovered the subspecies near Guadalupe Island, giving it a wider range than known types. Plants have been used commercially since their discovery, and it grows easily, forming considerable swarms over time, and a mixture of sandy, alkaline soils is ideal for growing mediums.

Second, the white wolf jade
1. White Wolf Jade : beguinii
In the wild, the white wolf jade strain is small, with a small head, nearly spherical to spherical, and large magenta flowers.
White wolf jade, a commercially cultivated subspecies, is a popular cultivated plant that is not difficult to raise and maintain, and inhabits a vast area in at least six Mexican states, southeast of Nuevo León, south of Chihuahua and Kohura, east of Zacatcas, the vast area of central San Luis, and southeastern Tamaulipas. In artificial cultivation it is easy to grow out of seeds and form flowering plants within three to four years and will become an attractive plant. Dense and prickly plants, the whole is transparent white. As found in limestone rock outcrops, it is more suitable for use with grit-like alkaline soil mixtures and has good drainage properties.

2. Hinton Pills ssp. hintoniorum
Hinton Pills were found in Galliana Vecchini, Nuevo León, Mexico. Like other petites, it grows on the slopes of broken limestone. Basic solitary, dark green, rarely forming small clumps, hemispherical, flattened during the rest period, the sphere is completely obscured by thorns, about 5 cm in diameter, about 3 cm in total length, mitochezoid, 5-7 cm long, with many whiskered roots, especially at the end of the thick root. The seedlings are spherical, pinnately spines. The flowers are 25 mm in diameter, narrow funnel-shaped, pale yellow and light green, with light purple to pink in the middle of the inner petals, purple-brown outer petals, and white light green at the stigma. The fruit is light green, then brown, and the seeds are black, about 1.5 mm long.

3. White needle jade ssp. zaragozae
White needle jade was found in limestone crevices near Zaragoza, south of Aranbury, Nuevo León, Mexico. Grown on pure limestone rubble, during cultivation, taking into account its alkaline condition in the wild, it should be ensured that balance is maintained in the grit soil mixture and care should be taken not to over-water.
