SONORAN DESERT BOTANY

The Sonoran desert is found in the North/Central American district.

The plants that can be found in this desert include
 * Barrel Cactus
 * Brittle Bush
 * Desert Ironwood
 * Chain Fruit Cholla
 * Creosote Bush
 * Crimson Hedgehog Cactus
 * Ocotillo
 * Palo Verde
 * Saguaro Cactus
 * Soaptree Yucca
 * Teddybear or Jumping Cholla
 * [|Triangle-leaf Bursage]
 * Velvet Mesquite

**Barrel Cactus**-The barrel cactus has a cylinder shaped body and grows between 5-11 feet tall. This cactus is also topped with 3-4 inch spines.

The Native Americans stewed the Barrel Cactus to make a cabbage like food. They also obtained water to drink from the pulp. From the sharp spines they made fish hooks.

The major threat to the plants found in the Sonoran desert is development. As the population grows it is using more and more land to build on. The more towns and cities develop the more and more land mass they use. Therefore desert regions are becoming smaller as humans continue to use these resources to live and work on. This means that the plants and animals that once flourished are being destroyed to make way for development.
