ARCHIVAL ART PRINT:

Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias) is an Endangered plant and part of the Threatened Texas series and is an original artwork by me, Juliet Whitsett. To create this image I sampled colors from images of threatened species and created original art inspired by the unique limited palette.

SPECIES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY: Anna Strong, PhD Botanist

"Star cactus only occurs in Texas in Starr County (no relation) near the border with Mexico in Tamaulipan thornscrub, an ecoregion with thorny vegetation mixed with grasses. Like many cacti, star cactus commonly occurs under “nurse plants” and even rocks that create shaded, cooler microclimates of less harsh conditions. The flat to dome-shaped spineless cactus occurs at soil level and can be completely covered by soil and persist and even bloom while the stem remains covered. Root plowing to decrease mesquite, herbivores like desert cottontail and southern plains woodrat, and collection for gardens or cactus enthusiasts have all been shown to threaten this federally-endangered species."
