    Cacti have leaves, but they are not obvious.

    Cacti are clumps of fleshy shrubs, and the shape of the upper part is obovate, the edges are mostly irregular wavy, and there are many short hairs and barbs on the surface. The petals of the cactus are sunken at the tip, with some pale yellow filaments, the edges are mostly rodted, 9 to 11 mm long, the anthers and columella are yellow in color, and the berries are obovoid and purplish red in color.

    The fleshy stems of cacti contain a large amount of comprehensive nutrients and trace elements, and their content is much higher than that of other crops. As a result, many arid regions of Mexico grow cacti for fodder as the only source of feed for livestock.
