CO OZNACZA SŁOWO CACTUS
Kaktus
Kaktus jest członkiem rodziny roślin Cactaceae w porządku Caryophyllales. Słowo "kaktus" wywodzi się łacistą od starożytnego greckiego κάκτος, nazwy pierwotnie używanej do kręconej rośliny, której tożsamość nie jest pewna. Kaktusy pochodzą z Ameryki, od Patagonii na południu do części zachodniej Kanady na północy, z wyjątkiem Rhipsalis baccifera, która również rośnie w Afryce i na Sri Lance. Większość kaktusów żyje w siedliskach podlegających co najmniej pewnej suszy. Wielu mieszka w bardzo suchych środowiskach, nawet na pustyni Atacama, jednej z najbardziej suchych miejsc na ziemi. Kaktus wykazuje wiele adaptacji do oszczędzania wody. Większość gatunków kaktusów straciła prawdziwe liście, zachowując tylko grzbiety, które są bardzo zmodyfikowanymi liśćmi. Oprócz ochrony przed roślinożercami kolce pomagają zapobiec utracie wody przez zmniejszenie przepływu powietrza w pobliżu kaktusa i zapewnienie cienia. Grzbiety kaktusów produkowane są ze specjalistycznych struktur zwanych wnękami, rodzajem bardzo wyeliminowanego oddziału. Areoles są cechą identyfikacyjną kaktusów. Oprócz kręgosłupa, kozły tworzą kwiaty, które zwykle są rurowe i wielopoziomowe.
