Coryphantha macromeris, the nipple beehive cactus,[1] is a species of cactus in the United States and Mexico. In the Chihuhuan Desert, it is common and has a wide range.[2] In the United States, it occurs naturally in Texas and New Mexico.[1] It prefers to grown in the shade under other larger plants, growing in irregular clusters or mounds.[3][4] In late summer, it blooms with purple or pink flowers and then bears green fruit.[3][4]
Biochemistry
The phenethylamine macromerine is present in the cactus.[5]
