Ariocarpus
''Ariocarpus'' is a genus of 8 species of succulent, subtropical plants of the Cactaceae family.
The name comes from the ancient Greek "aria" (an oak type) and "carpos" (=fruit) because of the resemblance of the fruit of the two genus in acorn form. Another possibility for the origin of the name is the work Scheidweiler did on the tree ''Sorbus aria'' at the time he described the genus ''Ariocarpus''. He might have meant the fruits of ''Ariocarpus'' plants look like the fruits of the ''Sorbus aria''.
It comes from limestone hills of Rio Grande in the south of Texas (''Ariocarpus fissuratus'') and also the north and the center of Mexico (all other species including ''A. fissuratus'' forms known as ''A. loydii'' and ''A. fissuratus'' var. ''intermedius'') with strong sunshine exposures.
''Ariocarpus'' are endangered and quite rare in the wild.
