Cacti are distinctive and unusual plants,
which are adapted to extremely arid
and hot environments,
showing a wide range of anatomical and
physiological features which conserve water.
Their stems have expanded into green
succulent structures containing the chlorophyll
necessary for life and growth,
while the leaves have become the spines
for which cacti are so well known.

All cacti are native to the America’s and surrounding islands, with one exception: Rhipsalis baccifera.
