Note: There are significant differences between CACO (2025) and POWO (2025) and these are categorised as disputed taxa (please do not delete green links). CACO is incorrect in placing Cumulopuntia berteroi in their synonymy of Eriosyce subgibbosa. as they base their treatment of Cumulopuntia unguispina on an invalid name.
