A cactus belongs to the plant kingdom, Plantae. It belongs to the flowering plant division, Magnoliophyta. It has two embryonic leaves. So it's a dicotyledonous member of the Magnoliopsida class and Caryophyllales order. It's a member of the cactus family, Cactaceae.

The particular genus and the particular species depend upon the particular cactus. For example, the pancake cactus [Opuntia chlorotica] is a member of the prickly pear genus, Opuntia. Its species name is chlorotica.
