Codex entry

Entry 1
Native to southern Arizona, southern New Mexico, far west Texas, and northern Sonora and Chihuahua, Mexico, it grows on gravelly bajadas between 1,000 and 5,300 feet elevation.
Entry 2
Adult plants often lean southward toward the sun, earning the nickname "compass barrel," though the heavy lopsided columns sometimes topple over into the mud after sudden rains.
Entry 3
Seri and Tohono O'odham peoples ate the flower buds and sour fruit as emergency food; Sonoran Desert residents still make candy and jelly from the pineapple-shaped fruit.
