Ever wonder why your cactus does not look like other plants (except some euphorbiads and stapeliads)?

This site has been mentioned before on here but is worth mentioning again. James Mauseth has published many scientific articles on cacti from 1975 to 2015.

This article is for those who like the long, detailed version:

If anyone knows of a simlar review of stapeliad structure, I would be be delighted to be informed.
