\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 Interested in learning more about cacti and where they grow?\u00a0 This French publication of\u00a0Les cact\u00e9es cultiv\u00e9es<\/em><\/a> could be for you.\u00a0 The volume was published by the Librairie Agricole de la Maison Rustique in 1931 by Andr\u00e9 Guillaumin, who was a French botanist.\u00a0 Guillaumin became the chair of botany and plant physiology at the Museum of Natural History in Paris, and then eventually the deputy director from 1947-1950.<\/p>\n

Echinopsis multiplex zuccarini<\/em> is apparently found in Southern Brazil, while Echinopsis pentlandii<\/em>, which flowers, is more commonly located in Bolivia.\u00a0 Inside the pages of this volume there were two small color illustrations mounted on paper.\u00a0 Cierge en tuyaux d’orgue<\/em> is commonly known as the organ pipe cactus due to its shape.\u00a0 <\/em>The series and number information printed on the front of both imply that these were part of a set of illustrations about cacti.\u00a0 The size suggests the possibility of them being stamps, but we don’t really know.\u00a0 It doesn’t appear that these color illustrations were connected to the volume, most likely they were simply stuck between the pages by a previous owner.<\/p>\n
