There are a number of species of cacti that bend towards the sun but the best known are several varieties of barrel cacti.
The divi divi tree [Caesalpinia coriaria] is a natural compass on Aruba. The trunk usually is bent at a 90 degree angle, parallel to the ground, and points in a southwesterly direction. The tree's unique shape and its compass direction are due to the trade winds that blow from the northeast across Aruba.

If the question is asking what is opposite north on a compass then the answer is south.
You need the compass direction to tell you direction. The sun usually rises from the east. The south is usually directly opposite the north.

The Compass Rose is the part of the map that tells you directions.
The compass rose on a map is typically used to indicate direction. It shows the orientation of the map, usually pointing towards the cardinal directions (north, east, south, west).
To determine direction on a map without a compass rose, you can look for other indicators such as the orientation of the map (usually north at the top), landmarks or geographic features that you know the direction of, or refer to an external compass for directional guidance.
The Compass Rose is the part of the map that tells you directions.
Actually there is no difference in which side do you keep your compass as long it is going to show the north direction in any other side of the map. Usually there is a small print in the maps (left side/right side depends of the print) which shows the direction of north in the certain map position. So What you have to do is to use compass to get the right direction.
The technique used almost exclusively for sighting with a compass is called "bearing." This involves aligning the compass needle with the orienting arrow, then sighting an object in the distance through the sighting feature (usually a notch or a lens) of the compass. The angle or direction indicated by the compass can then be used to navigate towards that object. This method ensures accurate direction-finding and helps in orienting maps as well.
