A cactus plant is classed scientifically in the plant kingdom, Plantae. As a flowering plant, it's classified as a member of the Magnoliophyta division. It grows from a two leaved embryo. So it's a dicotyledonous member of the Magnoliopsida class and the Caryophyllales order. It's classified as a member of the Cactaceae family. The specific genus and species names depend upon the particular cactus. For example, the goat's horn cactus [Astrophytum capricorne] carries the species name 'capricorne', which is one of only four species names within the Astrophytum genus.
