Cactus (Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii)




Date Collected: April 4, 2012
Location Collected: The Cactus was in my backyard near Mar Vista. 
Clade: The Gymnocalycium Mihanovichii belongs to the vascular plants. It is also a eudicot angiosperm.
Habitat: This chin cactus is seen growing under the bushes where it is only under direct sunlight a few number of times a year.
Nativity: It is indigenous to Chaco Boreal in Paraguay but also distributed in other areas of South America like Argentina and Bolivia.
Special notes: These plants die as seedlings unless placed onto another cactus that has chlorophyll (due to the fact that photosynthesis requires chlorophyll).
