pediocactus การใช้
- Pediocactus, a true round shape, is the first to bloom in spring.
- According to a genetic analysis, this species probably evolved as a mutation of the larger " Pediocactus simpsonii ".
- This beetle lives in desert habitat, where it feeds on cactus plants, especially species of San Rafael cactus ( " Pediocactus despainii " ).
- The related cacti " Pediocactus winkleri " and " Pediocactus despainii " are sometimes included as subspecies of " P . bradyi ".
- The related cacti " Pediocactus winkleri " and " Pediocactus despainii " are sometimes included as subspecies of " P . bradyi ".
- It covers species in the genera Opuntia, Echinocereus, Sclerocactus, Coloradoa, Pediocactus, Coryphantha, and Neobesseya and includes numerous black-and-white photographs.
- However, Anderson ( 2001 ) describes only one species, under the name " Sclerocactus sileri ", treating " Pediocactus sileri " as a synonym.
- Mistakenly, Anderson ( 2001 ) describes only one species, under the name " Sclerocactus sileri ", treating " Pediocactus sileri " as a synonym.
- Some of the most northern species of cactus, including " Opuntia " ( prickly pear ) and " Pediocactus " ( pincushion ) are found in the park as well.
- In 1999 David Hunt listed the cactus as a provisionally accepted taxon under the name of " Pediocactus bradyi " ssp . " winkleri " in the Second Edition of the CITES Cactaceae Checklist.
- Dr . Lyman Benson had earlier named a species that was then thought to be the same or that was similar ( " Pediocactus bradyi ", discovered in Arizona in 1958 and which only occurs there ).
- Like " Pediocactus ", " Sclerocactus " " deflate " in late fall in preparation for winter and freezing; they push water out of the plant flesh, through the roots, and into the soil, dramatically decreasing in size.
- DNA analyses conducted to date however have shown that neither " Pediocactus despainii " nor this taxon are related to " Pediocactus bradyi " and that both " P . despainii " and " P . winkleri " are likely more closely related instead to " P . simpsonii ."

- His description largely matches the description of " Pediocactus sileri " in the " Flora of North America ", and he uses the same common names ( gypsum cactus, Siler's pincushion cactus ) although the distribution he gives ( " a very restricted area in Coconino County, Arizona " ) corresponds to that of " Sclerocactus sileri " in the " Flora of North America " ( " restricted to northeast Coconino County, Arizona " ).
