Austrocactus is a genus of cacti with five species endemic of southern South America (Argentina and Chile). They have solitary o branched bodies, the ribs may have tubercules and they are not very spiny. The tallest species in this genus is 24 inches. Flowers are pink, red or yellow with a characteristic spiny tube. A cactus (plural: cacti) is a member of the New World plant family Cactaceae. Their distinctive appearance is a result of adaptions to conserve water in dry and/or hot environments. Their stems have evolved to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have evolved into spines. Many species are used for ornamental plants, and some are also grown for fodder, forage, fruits, cochineal, and other uses.
