Harrisia aboriginum
Harrisia aboriginum, the prickly applecactus, is a species of cactus endemic to peninsular Florida, on the Gulf Coast of the counties of Lee, Sarasota County, and Charlotte.[2] Only 12 occurrences are known, and the species is threatened by horticultural collection, shading from fire suppression, competition from invasive flora, and habitat destruction.
