Discocactus buenekeri is a species of Discocactus found in Brazil. [1]
A language family is a group of languages related through descent from a common ancestral language or parental language, called the proto-language of that family. The term family is a metaphor borrowed from biology—with the tree model used in historical linguistics analogous to a family tree, or to phylogenetic trees of species used in evolutionary taxonomy. Linguists thus describe the daughter languages within a language family as being genetically related. The divergence of a proto-language into daughter languages typically occurs through geographical separation, with different regional dialects of the proto-language spoken by different speech communities undergoing different language changes and thus becoming distinct languages from each other.
Disocactus is a genus of epiphytic cacti in the tribe Hylocereeae found in Central America, the Caribbean and northern South America. It should not be confused with Discocactus, which is a different genus.
Discocactus is a genus of tropical cacti. Discocactus plants are endemic to southern Brazil, eastern Bolivia, and northern Paraguay. These species are in the risk of extinction in the wild.
The Cactoideae are the largest subfamily of the cactus family, Cactaceae, and are widely distributed throughout the Americas. Cactaceae is the 5th most endangered plant or animal family evaluated globally by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Around 80% of cactus species belong to this subfamily. The genera of the Cactoideae are characterized by microscopic foliage leaves. All photosynthesis occurs in shoot cortex cells covered by a persistent epidermis and stomata. Another important characteristic of this subfamily is ribbed stems, which enable the inner cortex to expand radially without breaking the shoot surface to absorb large quantities of water.
Gymnocalycium horstii is a globular cactus resembling a loaf of bread from a bakery. Plants have a squat appearance and spines that are curved back towards the body. Plants usually offset over time, creating interesting specimens. The body of this species is glossy and the flower is always white. Its close relative Gymnocalycium buenekeri which occurs 200 km westward has a very similar but dull body with always pink flowers. Gymnocalycium horstii occurs only in the southern Brazilian province of Rio Grande do Sul and has been considered endangered since 2010 due to wild specimens being collected for the plant trade.
In botany, succulent plants, also known as succulents, are plants with parts that are thickened, fleshy, and engorged, usually to retain water in arid climates or soil conditions. The word succulent comes from the Latin word sucus, meaning "juice" or "sap".
