Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a genus of cacti that features unique stem and flower characteristics, and highlights the genus as the second largest in its tribe but lacking a clear phylogenetic framework.
- The study utilizes Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of five chloroplast regions to evaluate relationships among 44 species from this genus and others in the Cacteae tribe.
- Results indicate the genus is monophyletic and suggest a reorganization into two subgenera and seven sections, with 25 new species combinations proposed to reflect updated classifications.
