Cacteae
Cacteae is a tribe of plants of the family Cactaceae found mainly in North America especially Mexico.[1] As of August 2018, the internal classification of the family Cactaceae remained uncertain and subject to change. A classification incorporating many of the insights from the molecular studies was produced by Nyffeler and Eggli in 2010.[2]

gollark: Yes.
gollark: They are, you're just ignoring it.
gollark: Stop doing that, then? Actually use your best arguments and explain whatever issues you have?(yes, I am somewhat bad about this too, but try to not be or something)
gollark: Humans are animals who decided to give ourselves more ethical weight because of... well, various things, people disagree lots.
gollark: I'm also pretty sure they defined it as "adult humans", or at least that that was pretty obvious.
