Astrophytum coahuilense is a cactus species belonging to the genus Astrophytum . It is native to Mexico, specifically the south-western regions of Coahuila and Durango. Although superficially similar to A. myriostigma , the two species bear different flowers, fruits and seeds. Astrophytum coahuilense can be grown from seeds and, though they tend to be slow growing, are amenable to botanical cultivation.[2]
