1st prize Class 14 Astrophytum Group

Mexico-Nuevo Leon, 100-200m., in very restricted area.

A remarkable instance in cacti of geophytism coupled with the elongation of the tubercles (podaria) to serve as succulent 'leaves', parallleled in a less stiking way in Ariocarpus agavoides and by Leuchtenbergia principis, (The New Cactus Lexicon, 2006). This species was in the genus Digitostigma formerly.

I invite all cactus friends to visit my NEW HOME PAGES in Fotki. These pages are dedicated to cacti. You will see many species, genus by genus. There are some info about general cactus care, species and genera also.
