-Describe the plant here...
+The '''Organ Pipe Cactus''' (''Stenocereus thurberi'') is a species of [[cactus]] native to [[Mexico]] and the [[United States]]. The species is found in rocky desert. Two subspecies are recognized based on their distribution and height. The [[Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument]] is named for the species.
 ==Cultivation==
+It is sensitive to frost, so the species is rare in low desert areas, which can be more susceptible to frost. The plant is slow growing, and prefers well-drained [[soil]] and full sun.<ref name=sw/>  However, when in the seedling stage, it requires shade, and will grow beneath a "nurse tree". It will need this for several years until it grows an adequate root system, which is mostly in the upper 10&nbsp;cm of soil.<ref>http://helios.bto.ed.ac.uk/bto/desertecology/organpip.htm</ref>
 ===Propagation===
@@ Line 41: / Line 49: @@
 ==Varieties==
+There are two recognized subspecies, the nominate, ''thurberi'', is much larger and occurs in southern Arizona, mainland Mexico, and Northern Baja California. The other is ''littoralis'', which is much smaller and usually grows to around 10 feet (3&nbsp;m). It occurs only in southern Baja California.<ref name=cact/>
