Cactus is the singular word for the plant, cacti or cactuses are the plural forms.
Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in South America through to areas of western
Canada
. One species, Rhipsalis baccifera, is the exception, it is also found in tropical Africa,
Madagascar
and Sri Lanka. It is thought that droppings from migratory
birds
dispersed the Rhipsalis seed in these other lands.
The cactus generally lives in dry places prone to drought, such as
deserts
.
There are 1,500 to 1,800 species of cacti. Each species for the most part fall into one of two core cacti categories, these being opuntias or cactoids.
Cacti come in all shapes and sizes from round and short through to thin and tall. The smallest grow just a few centimeters high and about 1 cm (0.4 in) across. The tallest cactus can reach heights close to 20m (66ft) and up to 1 meter thick.
The ancient Aztec's of South America often depicted cacti in many of their sculptures and drawings. While
Mexico's
national coat of arms shows an
eagle
, a
snake
, and a cactus.
