hahahah that is funny, lol... It's common name was a woolly cactus. Someone guessed it now :) Sorry I got the desert wrong, should have googled it before saying no.

I actually need to check whether the Altiplano is part of the Atacama... probably, but I'm not sure.

My English deserted me for that one! "Woolly!" not hairy or furry... :-p

Good one though!

Thanks, yeah I did say it was a simple name, where are you from and what is your native language?

American English - as opposed to British/Aussie English. I am bilingual there, but we just don't say "woolly" in the US very often!

haha, I'm not sure we do in Australia either.
