The Cactaceae of Guatemala

Post by Glorioustache »

Hello!

Apparently, there is not very much information about this subject. There are 44 known native species in the country, and still, many more yet to be described. The majority endangered in the wild.

I will do my best to locate and photograph their populations as well as to create proper descriptions of their habitat. Their exact locations will be kept undisclosed.

It would be nice to see more field work being shared on the forum, so your thread should be right up our alley. By all means, please keep it going here.
If you just want photos without all the blather, please visit my Flickr gallery.
