Kroenleinia Gen. nov. J.Lodé 2014 : A new genus for a well-known cactus: Echinocactus grusonii KROENLEINIA J.Lodé 2014 (Cactoideae-Cacteae)
2014 •
The Cactaceae is a family belonging to the order Caryophyllales. Cacti typically are found in dry and arid desert or semi-desert regions with high average daytime temperatures and cold nights, and high evaporation rates. Cacti range from Canada to Argentina, predominantly occurring in the warm and arid reaches of the continents of both North and South America across a wide range of different habitats like deserts, sandy coastal stretches, scrublands, dry deciduous forests, high alpine steppes and tropical rain forests (Barthlott and Hunt, 1993; Gibson and Nobel, 1986; Nyffeler, 2001). The main diversity centers are Mexico and south-west USA, central Andes, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina with Mexico being the richest and most endemic region (Boyle and Anderson, 2002; Ortega-Baes and Godínez-Alvarez, 2006). The family is classified into three subfamilies: Pereskioideae, Opuntioideae, and Cactoideae (Schumann, 1899; Barthlott and Hunt, 1993).

Diversity and geographic distribution of cacti in the Cuatro Cienegas Basin (CCB), in the state of Coahuila, Northeast Mexico, were assessed using the complementary index (CI) and the geographic expansion index (GEI) in order to define priority zones for conservation from January 2017 to December 2018. The study area was divided into 12 plots, each of an area of approximately 192.93 km2. For each site, two rectangular plots were defined, each 1 km long and 40 m wide (i.e., a total 8 hectares of sample area per site), where cactus diversity, vegetation and soil types, and climate were recorded. Results showed the presence of 21 genera and 65 taxa including 42% and 12% of the taxa mentioned in the literature for the state of Coahuila, highlighting the richness of this area in the state. Cylindropuntia leptocaulis had the widest geographic distribution in CCB with GEI = 1.00, followed by eight taxa, whereas Echinomastus mariposensis, Echinomastus warnockii, and Epithelantha micromeris ...

Phylogenetic relationships in the cactus family (Cactaceae) based on evidence from trnK/ matK and trnL-trnF sequences2002 •

The Cactaceae with c. 1,435 species are the most important plant family of the arid regions of the Americas. Recent revisions and molecular studies resulted in an improved knowledge of the phylogeny and taxonomy of this group. Due to their high value as ornamental plants, countless publications with data on ecological preferences and geographic occurrence of the species are available. In this volume, the distribution areas of all cactus species are mapped. On this basis, we identified and characterized seven geographical centers of cactus diversity. Overall diversity patterns of the family, as well as, diversity patterns of all taxonomic subgroups, growth forms, and pollination syndromes are presented and mapped on the phylogeny of the Cactaceae. More than 50% of the species have extremely small distribution ranges, resulting in potential threat and insufficient coverage by existing protected areas. This volume presents the most comprehensive biogeographical analysis of one of the larger plant families, illustrated by 333 colored maps and c. 60 color figures on c. 200 pages.

New in Gymnocalycium (Cactaceae): Two Nothospecies, Three Nothosubgenera and a Graft-Chimaeral Genus2019 •
Demaio et al. (2011) recognized seven subgenera in the cactus genus Gymnocalycium: Gymnocalycium (type: G. gibbosum), Macrosemineum (G. denudatum), Microsemineum (G. saglionis), Muscosemineum (G. mihanovichii), Pirisemineum (G. pflanzii), Scabrosemineum (G. monvillei) and Trichomosemineum (G. quehlianum). Several hybrids between Gymnocalycium species are known to exist. The five listed below have been given nothospecific names, although two only have combinations in Echinocactus. New combinations for these taxa are made here.
