EDITORS COMMENTS
This image dates back to 1846 and depicts a Monster Cactus (Echinocactus visnagii) in the esteemed collection of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew. The Monster Cactus, also known as the Christmas Cactus or the Thanksgiving Cactus, is a unique and intriguing plant species native to the mountains of southern Brazil. The Monster Cactus in this photograph is a marvel to behold, its distinctive form and vibrant, ribbed appearance making it a standout among the various plant specimens housed within the gardens. Its large, rounded body is adorned with numerous, flat, green pads, each one dotted with small, radial spines. The plant's age and size are difficult to determine from the image alone, but it is evident that this Monster Cactus has reached a remarkable maturity. The Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, founded in 1840, was a pioneer in the study and preservation of exotic plants from around the world. The gardens' extensive collection, which now numbers over 50,000 living plants, was amassed through the tireless efforts of dedicated botanists and explorers. The acquisition of this Monster Cactus in 1846 was a significant addition to the gardens' burgeoning cactus collection. This photograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse of the Monster Cactus as it appeared over 175 years ago. Today, the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew continues to inspire and educate visitors from around the world, preserving the natural wonders of the plant kingdom for future generations to enjoy.
