		<description><![CDATA[The genus Cotyledon (family Crassulaceae) has a dozen or fewer species, but it used to have many more. Over time various groups have been separated out including:  Adromischus, Dudleya, Rossularia, and Adromischus. The various Cotyledon species are mostly found in South Africa.

Spines from the plant were formerly used to make fish hooks; young spines were bent into a hook and allowed to mature. Unlike many cacti, N. arequipensis may produce spines or flowers [...]]]></description>

A. pachypus is little studied, and all [...]]]></description>

Its common name, dragon blood tree, derives from the reddish sap obtained from the tree that is used as a dye or a medicine.
