Note:

Apart of the complex around Trichocereus macrogonus and may not merit specific rank, but see Cactaceae at Caryophyllales.org for their treatment. However, POWO prefer to use Echinopsis chalaensis (Rauh & Backeb.) H.Friedrich & G.D.Rowley, I.O.S. Bull. 3: 94 (1974) for this taxon and it has its own page.
