The Key Largo tree cactus, scientifically known as Pilosocereus robinii, has gone extinct. This rare species was native to the Florida Keys and characterised by its slender, columnar stems reaching up to 20 feet (6 metres).

<h2>A Botanical marvel</h2>

Characterised by delicate white or pinkish flowers that bloom at night and vibrant red and purple fruits that birds and mammals find appealing, the Key Largo tree cactus was a botanical marvel first discovered in 1992 and monitored intermittently since then. 
&nbsp;

<h2>Impact of rising sea levels</h2>

Sea level rise, rising tides and intense storms collectively led to the extinction of the wild Key Largo tree cactus population at its sole known location in the Florida Keys, USA.
