During the reclamation of succulent plants, spindle tree and columnar cactus, some spherical cactus and small rock succulent plants were found in thorny dry woodland and grass in 1914. American scholars Brendan and Ross traveled to South America, during which they found many small cacti that had not been recorded by Schumann. They recorded one by one, some of which are taproot small species, with oblate plants, like small planetary species, soft and succulent, green-brown, with 10-15 edges, low and flat ridges, usually 8 thorns, first red, then black, flowers yellow, flower eaves short, brown simple hairs, closed flowers fertilized, fruit succulent, fruit wall thick. These precious materials were sorted out at the end of their inspection the following year. In 1919, they completed and published the book "The Cactaceae", which named the spherical cactus as "the genus Cactus". At the same time, 8 new genera are recorded. .... South America is also a plant-rich region, native to many unknown cacti. At present, there are about 35 recorded species of the genus Cactus, and new species are still being discovered recently. it was not until the late 1960s (1960-70) that the cactus of the genus Uber ball was discovered, which is one of the latest plants in the family Opuntia.
