Ariocarpus
''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 of ste ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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.

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
