#Rhodocactus comprises 5 spp from South America. It is a member of the #Pereskioideae, another subfamily of leafy cacti. The two leafy subfamilies are early-divergent lineages in the #Cactaceae; they are a grade, not a clade. 📷: Rhodocactus grandifolius subsp. grandifolius. #Botany #PlantScience 🌾🧪
