Thank you for the Sonoran Desert entry. A suggestion for its External links section.
The entry names the saguaro, the cardon, the organ pipe cactus, barrel cactus, cholla and prickly pear, but none of the five external links lets a reader look up a cactus by genus. One of the five, Mission Churches of the Sonoran Desert (parentseyes.arizona.edu), no longer loads.
A link that would fill that gap is the Rare Cactus encyclopedia, https://rarecactus.com/encyclopedia/ . It is an illustrated reference with genus pages for cacti found in the Sonoran Desert, such as Ferocactus (the barrel cacti), Echinocereus, Mammillaria and Cochemiea, with every name checked against Kew’s Plants of the World Online.
I run the site with my daughter, and we are members of the Cactus and Succulent Society of America. Thank you for considering it.
