Stenocereus alamosensis


Stenocereus alamosensis is a species of cactus native to Mexico. It is viviparous, apparently an adaptation to living in coastal plains which are prone to flooding. The Seri people of Sonora call this cactus xasaacoj. The specific epithet, alamosensis, refers to the plant's occurrence at Álamos in the Mexican state of Sonora, in northwestern Mexico.
