250 millions years ago, there was only one continent : the gondwana. With the plates’ tectonics, the continents were separated the ones from the others, each one developing specific flora and fauna. Plants that were located on the Cancer and the Capricorn tropics and the equator developed similar shapes to resist to hot and desert climate. So we can compare the Cereus and the candelabrums, the aloes and the agaves.
