Neolloydia
''Neolloydia'' is a formerly recognized genus of cacti. The genus was first erected by Britton and Rose in 1922. Edward F. Anderson regarded ''Neolloydia'' as being poorly defined, with the result that species that had at times been included in ''Neolloydia'' were afterwards placed in multiple genera, including '' Coryphantha'', '' Echinomastus'', '' Escobaria'', '' Mammillaria'', ''Sclerocactus'', '' Thelocactus'' and ''Turbinicarpus''. In his 2001 book, Anderson firmly placed only one species in the genus, ''Neolloydia conoidea'', with another, ''Neolloydia matehualensis'', being regarded as only a variant of ''N. conoidea''. , Plants of the World Online treated ''Neolloydia conoidea'' as a synonym of ''Cochemiea conoidea'', and ''Neolloydia'' as a synonym of ''Cochemiea''. Species that have been placed in ''Neolloydia'' include: *''Neolloydia clavata'' → ''Coryphantha clavata'' *''Neolloydia conoidea'' → ''Cochemiea conoidea'' *''Neolloydia horripila'' → ''Kadenica ...

Cochemiea Conoidea
''Cochemiea conoidea'', common name Texas cone cactus or Chihuahuan beehive, is a species of cactus native to western Texas and to the Mexican states of Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, San Luis Potosí, Tamaulipas, and Zacatecas. It is a part of the Chihuahuan Desert desert scrub and the Tamaulipas, Tamaulipan thorn scrub. ''Cochemiea conoidea'' is an unbranched cylindrical cactus up to 24 cm (9.6 inches) tall and up to 8 cm (3.2 inches) in diameter. Outer tepals of the flowers are whitish with green midveins; inner tepals bright pink-rose to magenta. Fruits are pale yellow-olive with black seeds.

Cochemiea
''Cochemiea'' is a genus of cactus. It has previously been synonymized with ''Mammillaria'', but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that when broadly circumscribed, ''Mammillaria'' is not monophyletic, and ''Cochemiea'' has been accepted as a separate genus. Taxonomy A 2021 molecular phylogenetic study of the "mammilloid clade", which included the genera ''Cochemiea'', ''Coryphantha'', ''Cumarinia'', ''Escobaria'', ''Mammillaria'', ''Neolloydia'' and ''Ortegocactus'', showed that it consisted of four monophyletic groups, which the authors re-circumscribed into four genera: '' Cumarinia''; ''Mammillaria'', with a reduced number of species; ''Coryphantha'', expanded to include species previously placed in ''Mammillaria'' and ''Escobaria''; and ''Cochemiea'', expanded to include a large number of species previously placed in ''Mammillaria'', as well as ''Neolloydia conoidea''. Species In 2021, Breslin, Wojciechowski and Majure placed the following species in the genus, some ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Coryphantha Clavata
''Coryphantha'' (from Greek, "flowering on the top"), or beehive cactus, is a genus of small to middle-sized, globose or columnar cacti. The genus is native to arid parts of Central America, Mexico, through Arizona, New Mexico, and western Texas and north into southwestern, central, and southeastern Montana. With its two subgenera, 57 species and 20 subspecies, it is one of the largest genera of cactus.Dicht, Reto F. and Lüthy, Adrian D. (2005) ''Coryphantha: Cacti of Mexico and Southern USA''. Springer, Berlin, p. 1, Description There are four characteristics that distinguish ''Coryphantha'' from other cacti. # Their bodies do not have ribs, just tubercles.Dicht, Reto F. and Lüthy, Adrian D.

Turbinicarpus
''Turbinicarpus'' is a genus of very small to medium-sized cacti, which inhabit the north-eastern regions of Mexico, in particular the states of San Luis Potosí, Guanajuato, Nuevo León, Querétaro, Hidalgo, Coahuila, Tamaulipas and Zacatecas. Taxonomy The taxon was first proposed by Curt Backeberg as ''Strombocactus'' subgenus ''Turbinicarpus''. It was elevated to a genus in 1937 by Franz Buxbaum and Backeberg. The circumscription of ''Turbinicarpus'' has been described as "remarkably unstable", with species regularly transferred to other genera. Its taxonomic history is often mixed with that of other genera like ''Echinocactus'', ''Echinomastus'', '' Gymnocactus'', ''Mammillaria'', ''Neolloydia'', ''Normanbokea'', ''Pediocactus'', ''Pelecyphora'', '' Strombocactus'', ''Thelocactus'' and '' Toumeya'', as the results of almost two centuries of constant evolution in the understanding of the affinities and relationships inside the family Cactaceae.

Mammillaria Pilispina
''Mammillaria'' is one of the largest genera in the cactus family (Cactaceae), with currently 200 known species and varieties recognized. Most of the mammillaria are native to Mexico, but some come from the southwest United States, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela, Guatemala and Honduras. The common name "pincushion cactus" refers to this and the closely related genus ''Escobaria''. The first species was described by Carl Linnaeus as ''Cactus mammillaris'' in 1753, deriving its name from Latin ''mammilla'', "nipple", referring to the tubercles that are among the distinctive features of the genus. Numerous species are commonly known as globe cactus, nipple cactus, birthday cake cactus, fishhook cactus or pincushion cactus though such terms may also be used for related taxa, particularly ''Escobaria''. Description The distinctive feature of the genus is the possession of an areole split into two clearly separated parts, one occurring at the apex of the tubercle, the other at its ...
