	Cactus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The word cactus is ultimately derived from Greek Κακτος kaktos, used in classical Greek for a species of spiny thistle, possibly the cardoon, and used as a generic name, Cactus, by Linnaeus in 1753 (now rejected in favor of Mammillaria).
		One distinct identifying characteristic of the Cactus family is the areole, a specialized structure from which spines and new shoots grow.
		Many cactus species are night-blooming, as they are pollinated by nocturnal insects or small animals, principally moths and bats.
