These organisms were poached by Native Americans so that the Carameros Company could make candy. The genus Rhipsalis of these organisms are the only ones that might originate in the Eastern Hemisphere. Luther Burbank would frequently rub his face on modified examples of these organisms as part of his efforts to make cattle food. A National Park named for these organisms protects the Rincon Mountain District as part of a (*) Sky Island Archipelago, and is in Pima County. Fruit from one of these organisms known as nōchtli may provide the name of Tenochtitlan. A species of these organisms called the visnaga resembles a barrel. One of these organisms appears alongside an eagle and a snake on the flag of Mexico. For 10 points, name these organisms that name Saguaro National Park. ■END■
