Comments

Note: Echinopsis strausii (Heese) Anceschi & Magli 2021 is a new combination published in cactusinhabitat booklet South America 2013-2021 (Anceschi & Magli 2021,39). For the phylogenetic hypothesis adopted for the assimilation of Cleistocactus Lemaire in Echinopsis Zuccarini see Anceschi & Magli (2013b, 22-29).

The new combination replaces the illegitimate Echinopsis nothostrausii Anceschi & Magli, published in Cactusinhabitat South America 2011/2013, 39 (2013). See Eggli & Nyffeler, Repertorium Plantarum Succulentarum LXIV (2013): 13 (August 2014).

For years, molecular analysis revealed the close relationship between Echinopsis s.l. and the other genera within the tribe Trichocereeae, or subtribe Trichocereinae (Nyffeler 2002, 317, 319; Schlumpberger 2009; Lendel et al. 2006, unpubl. data in Nyffeler & Eggli 2010). Even more recent molecular analysis of Echinopsis (Schlumpberger & Renner 2012), clearly demonstrated that a cladistically correct interpretation of the molecular data, in the direction of a monophyletic genus Echinopsis, leads to the assimilation in Echinopsis s.l., as currently conceived (Anderson 2001; Hunt et al. 2006; Anderson & Eggli 2011), of Cleistocactus Lemaire, Denmoza Britton & Rose, Haageocereus Backeberg, Harrisia Britton, Oreocereus (A. Berger) Riccobono, Weberbauerocereus Backeberg and 10 other genera of the Trichocereeae/Trichocereinae.

We've dealt extensively with the subject, in the part devoted to the taxonomy in our last booklet (Anceschi & Magli 2013b, 22-29).

Our position is summarized in “The new monophyletic macro-genus Echinopsis. No risk of paraphyly, and the most convincing hypothesis in phylogenetic terms” appeared on Cactaceae Systematics Initiatives N° 31, pages 24-27 (August 2013).
