Cactus genus comprising 13 species and 13 subspecies according to Joël Lodé (2026). They are globose cacti with prominent tubers and highly varied spines, native mainly to northern and north-central Mexico, in rocky, calcareous and arid areas of the Chihuahuahuan Desert. Some species tolerate brief freezes of –4 to –7 °C if they remain completely dry; others are more sensitive and must be protected from freezes.
