Wikipedia Abstract

Stenocereus alamosensis (octopus cactus or cina) is a species of cactus native to Mexico. It is viviparous (that is, the seeds germinate before leaving the parent plant), apparently an adaptation to living in coastal plains which are prone to flooding. The Seri people of Sonora call this cactus xasaacoj.
