Cumarinia is a genus with one species, Cumarinia odorata, a small globular cactus from northeastern Mexico that forms clumps. It grows best in full sun, well-draining soil, and dry conditions.
Cumarinia odorata, commonly known in Spanish as biznaga partida olorosa (which translates as "fragrant split barrel cactus"), is a species of succulent flowering plant in the family. Cactaceae It is the only member of the monotypic genus Cumarinia. It is endemic to northeastern Mexico, where it is found in the states of San Luis Potosí, southern Nuevo León, and southwestern Tamaulipas. It is very small in size.
This species is cultivated primarily as an ornamental. It may be propagated vegetatively via cuttings, or via seeds.
It needs full sun exposure to fully develop and flower at an early age. It is sensitive to rot due to overwatering, and it therefore must be grown in a well-draining substrate. Furthermore, it can tolerate relatively low temperatures (down to -5 ºC / 23 ºF) so long as its substrate is kept dry.
This species is native to northeastern Mexico, specifically to San Luis Potosí, southern Nuevo León, and southwesterm Tamaulipas, where it is mainly found in desert or dry scrubland biomes.
