A large flowered Opuntia relative that produces stort lived erect stems from an underground tuber. It grows in northern Argentina,
often in unstable sand systems. The upright stems are easily detatched and can be rooted to form new plants. I am fond of these strange cacti but they prefer to be very dry through the winter and that is difficult in my greenhouse, even in almost pure gravel. |
