Aztekium ritteri Seeds
Rare Exotic Cactus
Aztekium ritteri is a species of cactus, in the genus Aztekium. It is one of the three species that make up the genus. The species originated in Mexico. Aztekium is a genus endemic to Mexico. In Mexico, Aztekium ritterii it is called “Peyotillo.” However, even though it contains N-methyltyramine, hordenine, anhalidine, mescaline, pellotine, and 3-methoxytyramine, there have been no ethnobotanical reports that state that it has ever been used by the indigenous people of the area. The Aztekium ritteri blooms throughout the summer, producing an abundance of white and pink flowers measuring less than one centimetre in diameter. These flowers are followed by small pink fruit that open when ripe and let out tiny seeds.
