Ariocarpus × Drabi
''Ariocarpus'' is a small genus of succulent, subtropical plants of the family Cactaceae. The name comes from the ancient Greek "aria" (an oak type) and "carpos" (=fruit) because of the resemblance of the fruit of the two genus in acorn form. Another possibility for the origin of the name is the work Scheidweiler did on the tree ''Sorbus aria'' at the time he described the genus ''Ariocarpus''. He might have meant the fruits of ''Ariocarpus'' plants look like the fruits of the ''Sorbus aria''. It comes from limestone hills of Rio Grande in the south of Texas (''Ariocarpus fissuratus'') and also the north and the center of Mexico (all other species including ''A. fissuratus'' forms known as ''A. loydii'' and ''A. fissuratus'' var. ''intermedius'') with strong sunshine exposures. ''Ariocarpus'' are endangered and quite rare in the wild. Description ''Ariocarpus'' species are very slow-growing. Plants have thick tuberous tap-roots, and are solitary or form small clusters ...

Ariocarpus Fissuratus
''Ariocarpus fissuratus'' (formerly known as ''Anhalonium fissuratus'') is a species of cactus found in small numbers in northern Mexico and Texas in the United States. Common names include living rock cactus, false peyote, chautle, dry whiskey and star cactus. Description This cactus consists of many small tubercles growing from a large tap root. They are usually solitary, rarely giving rise to side shoots from old areoles. The plant is greyish-green in color, sometimes taking on a yellowish tint with age. Its growth rate is extremely slow. ''A. fissuratus'' is naturally camouflaged in its habitat, making it difficult to spot. When they are found, it is usually due to their pinkish flowers which bloom in October and early November. Cultivation In cultivation, ''Ariocarpus fissuratus'' is often grafted to a faster-growing columnar cactus to speed growth, as they would generally take at least a decade to reach maturity on their own. They require very little water and fertilize ...

Charles Antoine Lemaire
Charles Antoine Lemaire (1 November 1800, in Paris – 22 June 1871, in Paris), was a French botanist and botanical author, noted for his publications on Cactaceae. Education Born the son of Antoine Charles Lemaire and Marie Jeanne Davio, he had an excellent early education, and acquired the reputation of being an outstanding scholar. He studied at the University of Paris and was appointed as Professor of Classical Literature there. At some stage his botanical interest was sparked and developed by his association with M. Neumann, horticulturist at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, Museum of Natural History. Career He worked for some time as an assistant to M. Mathieu, at a nursery in Paris, building up a collection of Cactaceae, a group to which he would devote almost all of his life. In 1835, M. Cousin, a Parisian publisher, started a gardening journal and requested that he be its editor. For a number of years, he remained editor of ''Jardin Fleuriste'' and ''L'Horticu ...

Ariocarpus Scaphirostris
''Ariocarpus scaphirostris'' is a species of plant in the family Cactaceae. The ''Ariocarpus scaphirostris'' was originally called ''Ariocarpus scapharostrus'' in the 1930. D. R. Hunt, however, changed it to ''Ariocarpus scaphirostris''. It is endemic to Nuevo León state in northeastern Mexico. Its natural habitat is hot desert A desert is a barren area of landscape where little precipitation occurs and, consequently, living conditions are hostile for plant and animal life. The lack of vegetation exposes the unprotected surface of the ground to denudation. About on ...s. The plant is slow growing and also produces rare flowers.

Ariocarpus Scapharostrus (10328358976)
''Ariocarpus'' is a small genus of succulent, subtropical plants of the family Cactaceae. The name comes from the ancient Greek "aria" (an oak type) and "carpos" (=fruit) because of the resemblance of the fruit of the two genus in acorn form. Another possibility for the origin of the name is the work Scheidweiler did on the tree ''Sorbus aria'' at the time he described the genus ''Ariocarpus''. He might have meant the fruits of ''Ariocarpus'' plants look like the fruits of the ''Sorbus aria''. It comes from limestone hills of Rio Grande in the south of Texas (''Ariocarpus fissuratus'') and also the north and the center of Mexico (all other species including ''A. fissuratus'' forms known as ''A. loydii'' and ''A. fissuratus'' var. ''intermedius'') with strong sunshine exposures. ''Ariocarpus'' are endangered and quite rare in the wild. Description ''Ariocarpus'' species are very slow-growing.

Plants Of The World Online
Plants of the World Online (POWO) is an online database published by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. It was launched in March 2017 with the ultimate aim being "to enable users to access information on all the world's known seed-bearing plants by 2020". The initial focus was on tropical African Floras, particularly Flora Zambesiaca, Flora of West Tropical Africa and Flora of Tropical East Africa. The database uses the same taxonomical source as Kew's World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, which is the International Plant Names Index, and the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP). POWO contains 1,234,000 global plant names and 367,600 images. See also *Australian Plant Name Index *Convention on Biological Diversity *World Flora Online *Tropicos Tropicos is an online botanical database containing taxonomic information on plants, mainly from the Neotropical realm (Central, and South America). It is maintained by the Missouri Botanical Garden and was established over 25 y ...
