They are native to the Caribbean, western Mexico through Central America to northern South America, with some species along the Andes down to southern Peru, and a concentration of species in northeastern Brazil., pages=456–467 The first species was named by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, as ''Cactus melocactus''. When the genus was separated from ''Cactus'', the pre-Linnaean name ''Melocactus'' was used. Acting on the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants#Principles, principle of priority, in 1922 Nathaniel Lord Britton, Nathaniel Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose, Joseph Rose resurrected Linnaeus' ''Cactus''. However, the 1905 Vienna botanical congress had already rejected the name ''Cactus'', so this name was not available, and ''Melocactus'' Link & Otto is the correct genus name.

	Malvaviscus ''Malvaviscus'' is a genus of flowering plants in the Malva, mallow family, Malvaceae. Common names for species in this genus include Turk's cap mallow, wax mallow, sleeping hibiscus, and mazapan. It belongs to a group of genera that differ from the closely related ''Hibiscus'' in possessing a fruit divided into 5 separate parts (a schizocarp), and having a Gynoecium, style surmounted by 10, rather than 5, capitate or capitellate Gynoecium, stigmas. Among those genera ''Malvaviscus'' is distinguished by having auriculate petals and red, fleshy fruits. The generic name is derived from the Latin words ''malva'', meaning "Malva, mallow," and ''viscus'', which means "sticky," referring to the Mucilage, mucilaginous Plant sap, sap produced by members of the genus. The fruit can be used to make jelly or syrup. Both the fruit and flowers are used to make herbal teas. Selected species * ''Malvaviscus achanioides'' (Nicolai Stepanovitch Turczaninow, Turcz.)
