- (Dinosaur Back Plant) is an interesting waxy blue cactus that forms a tree-like trunk which has a tendency to fan out clustering over one another. Occasionally, when new branches form out from a crest they may revert to the normal growth pattern, giving rise to a more bizarre appearance. Photo by: Valentino Vallicelli
