Name: CHK's Key Tree Lime Pie | Robinn
Name Meaning: Named after the Key Tree-cactus! Some info from wikipedia.

Pilosocereus robinii is a species of cactus known by the common name Key tree-cactus.[citation needed] It is native to the Florida Keys in the United States.[3] It also occurs in Western Cuba and the Northern Bahamas. It has been erroneously reported from Puerto Rico,[4] the Virgin Islands,[4] and Mexico.[2] It is a rare species which is threatened by the loss of its habitat.[4] It is a federally listed endangered species of the United States.

This cactus grows in upland tropical hardwood hammocks on limestone or coral substrates. It sometimes grows on sparsely vegetated coral rock[2] and just above the high tide mark.[4] There are only 4 of these plants that produce fruits. Their seeds are dispersed by frugivores. Windy conditions would also spread this cactus' seeds; the wind would break off branches and allow propagation to occur. The branches would root themselves in the soil and stems would grow out from them. Storm surges and sea level rise may inundate its shoreline habitat and increase the salinity beyond the tolerable range for the cactus.[3][4]
