The term is also used to describe the spine-bearing areas in cacti.The swelling on the stem of a cactus which bears the spines It is actually the vestigial remains of a shoot.A specialized structure characteristic of the cactus family, consisting of a small pad of tissue from which arise spines, hairs, and flowers.
