Etymology

The name is derived from the Greek notos (south), referring to its distribution in the southern part of South America.

Description

Notocactus consists of small-to-medium globose or shortly cylindrical cacti, very popular for their easy cultivation and beautiful flowers.

  • Stems: Typically globose, often becoming columnar with age.
  • Flowers: Usually large, funnel-shaped, and mostly yellow (though some are pink or red). A key feature is the often bright red or purple stigma lobes.
  • Seeds: Generally larger and different in structure compared to Parodia.

Distribution

  • South America: Southern Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Northern Argentina.
