Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by Cactaceae, which is usually but not always one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: Only 2 distinct land cells of the climate grid hold an in-range record; three are needed for an envelope.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.

Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

Kew's description“succulent subshrub” · “temperate”· quoted from WCVP, RBG Kew (CC BY 4.0); not derived here

Map marker-29.15, -69.35 · in the densest population, 6 records (55% of those in range)

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 11 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 3 openly licensed ones, which alone would put the marker 614 km away. Under a dozen records: treat the map as indicative. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 9 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.

The map markerthe map marker: the centre of the tenth-degree cell nearest the middle (no openly licensed record lies in the population, so no record's coordinates are published) of the densest 1° population inside the densest 2° block of the 11 in-range records; it decides nothing.
