The family belongs to Cacti and succulent plants, a large majority, prickly, known collectively as cacti or cactuses Many other species of cacti have become naturalized in conditions similar to those of their habitat in other parts of the world, once introduced by people.

Many succulent plants in both the Old and the New World, have a striking resemblance to the cactus the clearest identifying characteristic of the cactus family is the areola, a specialized structure from which the spines and new shoots, in many cases, the flowers.

Cacti are considered to have evolved from a 30 to 40 million years.

The stems of the cactus, which basically comprise the body of the plant are thickened by the development of the parenchyma and its green color because they are photosynthetic.

Three main forms of stem:• Cladodes: stems flattened paddle-shaped (like cacti)

• Columnar: cylindrical stems (with or without branching).

• Globose: almost spherical bearing stems barrel (as in biznagas)

Areoles, usually maintain two areas of growth.

At the top are produced flowers (flowering meristems) and espinulíferos meristems in the bottom.

Areoles develop multiple hairs or trichomes (like cotton fibers) and bones (and in genres older leaves).

The Greek word Κακτους in Theophrastus Historia Plantarum

The word derives from Greek cactus Κάκτος Kakteen,

Cactus Carduus derived the Latin word, which eventually led to the Spanish thistle.

During the Middle Ages the word cactus was the usual name for the edible artichoke.
