GENUS OVERVIEW / Astrophytum
Astrophytum is a genus of six species of cacti, native to North America. These species are sometimes referred to as living rocks, though the term is also used for other genera, particularly Lithops (Aizoaceae). The generic name is derived from the Greek words άστρον (astron), meaning "star", and φυτόν (phyton), meaning "plant".
This source describes the genus, not this particular species or selection. Species-specific characteristics and growing requirements are not confirmed.
