Barrel cacti, primarily found in arid regions of North America, are characterized by their distinctive cylindrical shape and ribbed surface, which helps reduce water loss. They typically have a waxy coating that further aids in retaining moisture and are adorned with vibrant flowers that bloom during the warmer months. Another unique feature is their ability to store water in their thick, fleshy tissues, allowing them to survive prolonged droughts. Additionally, many barrel cacti have spines that provide protection from herbivores and help collect dew or rainwater.
