All cactuses are
succulent (have water-storing tissue), but not all succulents are
cactuses
See
the major types of Cactuses
To be a cactus, the
plant must have the following set of characteristics:
|
|
- areoles:
structures from which spines, branches, and flowers come.
- flowers with many
sepals and petals that intergrades with each other.
- flowers with many
stamens.
- flowers with
multi-lobed stigma.
- Most cactuses use
CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) photosynthesis, taking in carbon
dioxide at night instead of the day to save water (evaporation rates
are lower at night generally), storing the carbon dioxide as an
acid, and then releasing the carbon dioxide during the day for
photosynthesis.
- Columnar
cactuses, with leguminous trees, characterize the Sonoran Desert
- Besides columnar
cactuses, other major groups include barrels, hedgehogs,
pincushions, chollas, and prickly pears.
