Saguaro National Park. Saguaro National Park [1] is a United States National Park that is located near Tucson in the state of Arizona. There are two separate regions of the park: Saguaro East lies twenty miles east of Tucson, and Saguaro West is located fifteen miles west of the city center.
The saguaro cactus comes from the family Cactaceae; its order Cactales, the genre name is Cereus, and its species the Cereus giganteus. Further discussion on the taxonomy of the saguaro will be discussed in the family tree line section. In 1908 in honor of Andrew Carnegie, the species name was changed to Carnegiea gigantean (Klaus, 1997). Other common names for it are sahuaro and pitahaya (Klaus, 1997).
