Cochemiea
''Cochemiea'' is a genus of cactus. It has previously been synonymized with ''Mammillaria'', but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that when broadly circumscribed, ''Mammillaria'' is not monophyletic, and ''Cochemiea'' has been accepted as a separate genus. Taxonomy A 2021 molecular phylogenetic study of the "mammilloid clade", which included the genera ''Cochemiea'', ''Coryphantha'', ''Cumarinia'', ''Escobaria'', ''Mammillaria'', ''Neolloydia'' and ''Ortegocactus'', showed that it consisted of four monophyletic groups, which the authors re-circumscribed into four genera: '' Cumarinia''; ''Mammillaria'', with a reduced number of species; ''Coryphantha'', expanded to include species previously placed in ''Mammillaria'' and ''Escobaria''; and ''Cochemiea'', expanded to include a large number of species previously placed in ''Mammillaria'', as well as ''Neolloydia conoidea''. Species In 2021, Breslin, Wojciechowski and Majure placed the following species in the genus, some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Baja California
Baja California (; 'Lower California'), officially the Free and Sovereign State of Baja California ( es, Estado Libre y Soberano de Baja California), is a state in Mexico. It is the northernmost and westernmost of the 32 federal entities of Mexico. Before becoming a state in 1952, the area was known as the North Territory of Baja California (). It has an area of (3.57% of the land mass of Mexico) and comprises the northern half of the Baja California Peninsula, north of the 28th parallel, plus oceanic Guadalupe Island. The mainland portion of the state is bordered on the west by the Pacific Ocean; on the east by Sonora, the U.S. state of Arizona, and the Gulf of California; on the north by the U.S. state of California; and on the south by Baja California Sur. The state has an estimated population of 3,769,020 as of 2020, significantly higher than the sparsely populated Baja California Sur to the south, and similar to San Diego County, California, to its north. Over 75% of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mammillaria Hutchisoniana (5782589642)
''Mammillaria'' is one of the largest genera in the cactus family ( Cactaceae), with currently 200 known species and varieties recognized. Most of the mammillaria are native to Mexico, but some come from the southwest United States, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The common name " pincushion cactus" refers to this and the closely related genus '' Escobaria''. The first species was described by Carl Linnaeus as ''Cactus mammillaris'' in 1753, deriving its name from Latin ''mammilla'', " nipple", referring to the tubercles that are among the distinctive features of the genus. Numerous species are commonly known as globe cactus, nipple cactus, birthday cake cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion cactus though such terms may also be used for related taxa, particularly '' Escobaria''. Description The distinctive feature of the genus is the possession of an areole split into two clearly separated parts, one occurring at the apex of the tubercle, ...
