http://public.fotki.com/PanosS/aztekium-pages/aztekium-hintonii--1/ Author:C.Glass & W.A.Fitz Maurice 1992. Habitat:Mexico(Nuevo Leon). Family:Cactaceae. -The genus Aztekium contains only two species of small globulary cactus. Discovered in 1929 by F.Ritter,in Rayones, Nuevo León,Mexico, this genus was thought to be monotypic(with Aztekium ritteri)until a second species (Aztekium hintonii)was discovered by George S. Hinton,in Galeana,Nuevo León in 1991. This unusual genus was named by F. Boedeker in 1929 because the colour of the rock-like body and the lateral very distinctive ribs are said to be reminiscent of original designs in the sculptures of the early Aztek Indians. -------------------------------------------------- Το γενος Aztekium περιεχει μονο δυο ειδη το Aztekium hintonii και το Aztekium ritteri. Το γενος Aztekium ανακαλυφθηκε το 1929 απο τον Ritter στο Nuevo León του Μεξικου. Πιστευαν οτι ειναι μονοτυπικο γενος μεχρι που ανακαλυφθηκε ενα δευτερο ειδος, το Aztekium hintonii , απο τον George Hinton, στην Galeana Nuevo León το 1991. Το ονομα Aztekium οφειλετε στην ομοιοτητα μεταξυ της μορφης των φυτων και ορισμενων γλυπτων των Αζτεκων. http://images.fotki.com/logo3.gif http://public.fotki.com/PanosS/aztekium-pages/aztekium-hintonii--1/ http://public.fotki.com/PanosS/aztekium-pages/aztekium-hintonii--1/aztekiumhintoniib12.html Aztekium hintonii
