An updated edition of the cult classic, featuring stunning archival photographs of hundreds of the rarest and most spectacular plants on Earth, taken by a motley crew of cactus obsessives "A catalogue of wonders that most of us will never get to see in person."-- The New Yorker From the people behind Cactus Store comes Xerophile , a photographic collection of these improbable desert wonders in the wild. Drawing on the archives of twenty-five cactus obsessives--from PhD botanist to banker, art teacher to cancer researcher--this revised edition spans eighty years and features new and expanded descriptive notes for all 350+ photos. Xerophile brings together eighty years' worth of these explorers' remarkable images from some of the world's most remote habitats: a peculiar two-leaved plant that lives for millennia in the deserts of Namibia; succulents whose poisonous sap is used by hunters to fell large game in Angola; and cactus that live on snow-covered mountains in Bolivia, sink below ground level to survive droughts in Mexico, are pollinated by bats in Brazil, and grow in pure lava fields of the Galapagos Islands.
