species Cactaceae
Morphological Summary
Genus of cacti endemic to Chile, mainly from the Atacama Desert and the northern Chilean coastal zone. Comprises more than 25 species with globose to columnar stems that survive in one of the world's most arid environments by capturing coastal fog (camanchaca). They have bluish to grayish-green epidermis and variable spines.
Distribution Chile: from northern Atacama to Coquimbo; especially abundant in the coastal zone under camanchaca fog influence.
Conservation Numerous species threatened; extremely fragile habitat threatened by mining, tourism, and climate change. Several on CITES Appendix II.
