Cochemiea goodridgei is a special type of plant that belongs to the Cactaceae family, which means it's a kind of cactus. This plant is only found in one specific place: the Mexican state of Baja California. When a plant or animal is found only in one area, we say it is endemic to that place.

You might see its name spelled a few different ways, like goodridgii or goodrichii. It was given its name in honor of a person named John Goodridge.
