Parodia
At the end of the 80', the International Organization for the study
of Succulent Plants, worked in a project of reorganization for the
genus of the Cactaceae family. As a result of this project the genus
Notocactus was included within Parodia, although at the moment there
is much opposition to this change. The genus is original of South
America and it is distributed mainly in the northwest of Argentina
and Bolivia. The name is after Lorenzo Raimundo Parodi (1895-1966),
Argentine botanist.
Most of the plants cultivated from seeds, bloom 2 or 3 years after
the germination took place.
