I'll review this! Ciaran Sinclair (talk)

Notes

• "With the exception of one species, cacti are native to the Americas" The name of the species should probably be mentioned, as well as where the species can be found.

 Done Added additional sentence to the lead. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

• Bottom right image on 'Cactus areoles' doesn't mention what species is in the image.

Um... The only image I could find in Commons (or elsewhere with the right license) which showed what I wanted, namely that the flower is produced above the spines at an areole, was File:Cactus_4a_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1446436.jpg. It wasn't identified. I cleaned it up in Photoshop to File:Cactus_4a_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1446436_cleaned.jpg, still unidentified. Commons user Uleli then added a category which identifies the species as Cereus hildmannianus subsp. uruguayanus. This is plausible, but without some explanation of how the identification was reached, I'm reluctant to accept it. This is one of the serious problems with plant images in Commons: there's usually no source to support the identification. I'm confident that it's a Cereus (or closely allied species), so I'll add this to the caption. I'm not happy to go further without more evidence. Peter coxhead (talk) 16:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
