Sociedad Mexicana de Cactología

The Sociedad Mexicana de Cactología (Mexican Cactus Society) is a non-governmental, non-profit botanical society based in Mexico and composed of both amateur enthusiasts and professional scientists. Its membership includes recognized researchers specializing in cacti and succulents as well as a large community of hobbyists from around the world. The Society's stated objectives are the study of succulent plants — principally Mexican species — together with their conservation, propagation, and the promotion of appreciation for them. Since 1955 the Society has published a quarterly journal, Cactáceas y Suculentas Mexicanas, which is one of the organization's principal activities and a long-running record of Mexican cactus and succulent research. The Society also holds monthly meetings at the Botanical Garden of the Institute of Biology at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), providing a regular forum for members and researchers. The organization is open to anyone, anywhere in the world, who is interested in cacti and succulents and wishes to collaborate. Its online presence, hosted at mexican.cactus-society.org, includes sections for nurseries, pictures, books, clubs, events, and links to social media channels such as Facebook and YouTube, reflecting its role as a hub for the international cactus and succulent community.
