The Mesemb Study Group exists to encourage the study and knowledge of plants of the family Mesembryanthemaceae (commonly known as Living Stones). The Mesemb Study Group (M.S.G.) was formed in 1986. In its first twenty years the group grew to include around 600 members in many different countries. Latterly this has declined to around 400. The group is run rather informally and its aims are to further the study and knowledge of the Mesembryanthemaceae. A Bulletin is issued quarterly to every member in February, May, August and November. With the third Bulletin of 1988 came the first colour illustration in the form of a 'stuck in' photograph and there are occasionally line drawings. From 1992 the colour illustrations took the form of two to six pages of four or five colour pictures to accompany the articles. A new format was introduced in 2025 with full colour printing, incorporating pictures in the articles. A recent example (81K) can be seen here.More pictures can be seen by clicking here. Membership of the Mesemb Study Group is open to anyone. The cost for 2026 is £12 for UK, £15 for Europe and £21 for other countries.
