The Botanical Explorer Finds One Of the World’s Smallest Cacti

Texas is home to an array of endemic plants many of them cacti. While driving through the vast deserts of west Texas, Joe stops to find one of the smallest Cacti in Texas. It’s called Escobaria minima! Added to the endangered species list in 1979 due to enthusiast over collecting, it has become an extremely elusive plant. But although it is a highly endangered species in the wild today, Joe’s trained eye is still able to spot this tiny plant.
