    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias) Recovery Plan September 2003 DISCLAIMER Recovery plans delineate reasonable actions which are believed to be required to recover and/or protect listed species. Plans are published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, sometimes prepared with the assistance of recovery teams, contractors, State agencies, and others. Objectives will be attained and any necessary funds made available subject to budgetary and other constraints affecting the parties involved as well as the need to address other priorities.

Approved recovery plans are subject to modification as dictated by new findings, changes in species status, and the completion of recovery tasks.

PLANT-OF-THE-MONTH: Cactus: Echinocactus, Ferocactus, Succulent: Monadenium, Jatropha Descriptions by Scott Bunnell: Echinocactus is a genus of cacti in the subfamily Cactoideae. It and Ferocactus are the two genera of barrel cactus. Members of the genus usually have heavy spination and relatively small flowers. The fruits are copiously woolly, which is one major distinction between Echinocactus and Ferocactus. Propagation is by seed. Perhaps the best known species is the golden barrel (Echinocactus grusonii) from Mexico, an easy-to-grow and widely cultivated plant.

  • A Tale of Two Cacti –The Complex Relationship Between Peyote (Lophophora Williamsii) and Endangered Star Cactus (Astrophytum Asterias)
    A Tale of Two Cacti –The Complex Relationship between Peyote (Lophophora williamsii) and Endangered Star Cactus (Astrophytum asterias). 1 2 2 TERRY, M. , D. PRICE , AND J. POOLE. 1Sul Ross State University, Department of Biology, Alpine, Texas 79832. 2Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Wildlife Diversity Branch, 3000 S. IH-35, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78704. ABSTRACT Astrophytum asterias, commonly called star cactus, is a federally listed endangered cactus endemic to the Tamaulipan thornscrub ecoregion of extreme southern Texas, USA, and Tamaulipas and Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Only three metapopulations totaling less than 4000 plants are presently known in Texas. Star cactus, known locally as “star peyote”, is highly sought by collectors. This small, dome-shaped, spineless, eight- ribbed cactus is sometimes mistaken for peyote (Lophophora williamsii), which grows in the same or adjacent habitats. Peyote is harvested from native thornscrub habitats in Texas by local Hispanic people and sold to peyoteros, licensed distributors who sell the peyote to Native American Church members. Annual peyote harvests in Texas approach 2,000,000 “buttons” (crowns). Although the peyoteros do not buy star cactus from harvesters, they cultivate star cactus in peyote gardens at their places of business and give star cacti to their customers as lagniappe. If even 0.1% of harvested “peyote” is actually star cactus, the annual take of this endangered cactus approaches the total number of wild specimens known in the U.S. This real but unquantifiable take, together with information from interviews with local residents, suggests the existence of many more star cactus populations than have been documented.
