Blossfeldia liliputana, also known as the world's smallest cactus, is a miniature cactus with no ribs, no spines, and a mature size of about 0.5 inches in diameter. It is native to Argentina and southern Bolivia, often found in crevices near waterfalls. The plant is known for its unique ability to rehydrate after drying out, similar to lichens, and for its self-fertilizing flowers. 

Here's a more detailed look:

Key Features:

• Size: The smallest cactus species in the world, reaching a maximum of about 0.5 inches (13 mm) in diameter. 
• Appearance: Solitary or clumping, with no ribs or spines. 
• Habitat: Found in crevices, often near waterfalls in Argentina and southern Bolivia. 
• Water Uptake: Significant water uptake happens through the fuzzy areoles that cover its surface, and it can dry out completely and rehydrate when watered. 
• Propagation: Propagated mostly by seed and grafting. 
• Growth: Slow-growing, and it can be difficult to keep it alive on its own roots, especially in the first few months. 
• Grafting: Grafting is a common and successful method for cultivation. 
• Unique Biology: Blossfeldia liliputana has a unique biology, including its ability to rehydrate after drying out, and its lack of ribs and spines.
• Taxonomy: It has been placed in different classifications over time, but recent genetic analyses suggest it warrants its own tribe within the Cactaceae family (Blossfeldieae).
