The toothpick cactus (Stetsonia coryne) is a species of cactus and the sole species of its genus (Stetsonia). The plant originates from the low northwest deserts of Argentina and Bolivia. Stetsonia coryne grows to a height of 2.4-10 m tall. It has white blossoms in spring or summer. A cactus (plural: cacti, cactuses or cactus) is a member of the New World plant family Cactaceae. Their distinctive appearance is a result of adaptions to conserve water in dry and/or hot environments. In most species, the stem has evolved to become photosynthetic and succulent, while the leaves have evolved into spines. Many species are used for ornamental plants, and some are also grown for fodder, forage, fruits, cochineal, and other uses.
