Welcome to the official knowledge base of '''[[M&J Cactus]]'''. This project aims to document the family ''Cactaceae'' through the lens of modern molecular phylogenetics. We strictly follow the taxonomic revisions of '''Joël Lodé''', which represent the most up-to-date scientific understanding of cactus evolution and relationships.
'''International Encyclopedia of Cactaceae'''
 
''This classification follows the Joël Lodé system (v1.19 - Updated 2019).''

The family ''Cactaceae'' is divided into four main subfamilies. Explore the genera within each group:
** [[Copiapoa]]


=== [[Pereskioideae]] ===
==== Tribe Lymanbensonieae ====
* The most primitive cacti with true leaves.
** [[Calymmanthium]], [[Lymanbensonia]]
* '''Key Genera:''' ''Pereskia'', ''Leuenbergeria''.


=== [[Maihuenioideae]] ===
==== Tribe Notocacteae ====
* Small, succulent shrubs from the Andes.
** [[Acanthocephala]], [[Bolivicactus]], [[Brasiliparodia]], [[Eriocephala]], [[Eriosyce]], [[Frailea]], [[Islaya]],  [[Malacocarpus]], [[Neowerdermannia]], [[Notocactus]], [[Parodia]], [[Rimacactus]], [[Wigginsia]], [[Yavia]]
* '''Key Genera:''' ''Maihuenia''.


=== [[Opuntioideae]] ===
==== Tribe Phyllocacteae ====
* Characterized by glochids and specialized seed structures.
* '''Major Tribes:''' [[Cylindropuntieae]], [[Opuntieae]], [[Tephrocacteae]].


=== [[Cactoideae]] ===
===== Subtribe Corryocactinae =====
* The largest subfamily, containing the vast majority of desert and epiphytic cacti.
*** [[Armatocereus]], [[Austrocactus]], [[Brachycereus]], [[Castellanosia]], [[Corryocactus]], [[Dendrocereus]], [[Eulychnia]], [[Jasminocereus]], [[Leptocereus]], [[Neoraimondia]], [[Pfeiffera]]
* '''Key Tribes (Lodé System):'''
** [[Cacteae]] – (e.g., ''Mammillaria, Ariocarpus, Thelocactus'')
** [[Pachycereeae]] – (e.g., ''Pachycereus, Cephalocereus, Carnegiea'')
** [[Trichocereeae]] – (e.g., ''Lobivia, Rebutia, Trichocereus'')
** [[Cereeae]] – (e.g., ''Melocactus, Cereus, Pilosocereus'')
** [[Hylocereeae]] – (Epiphytic cacti like ''Selenicereus'')
** [[Blossfeldieae]] – (The unique genus ''Blossfeldia'')


---
===== Subtribe Echinocereinae =====
*** [[Acanthocereus]], [[Backebergia]], [[Bergerocactus]], [[Carnegiea]], [[Cephalocereus]], [[Echinocereus]], [[Escontria]], [[Isolatocereus]], [[Lemaireocereus]], [[Lophocereus]], [[Marshallocereus]], [[Morangaya]], [[Myrtillocactus]], [[Neobuxbaumia]], [[Nyctocereus]], [[Pachycereus]], [[Peniocereus]], [[Polaskia]], [[Pseudoacanthocereus]], [[Pterocereus]], [[Stenocereus]], [[Strophocactus]]


== Why Lodé Taxonomy? ==
===== Subtribe Hylocereinae =====
Traditional systems (like Hunt or Backeberg) relied mostly on morphology (how plants look). The '''Lodé system''' integrates DNA sequencing (phylogenetics), providing a more accurate map of how cacti are actually related.
*** [[Aporocactus]], [[Disocactus]], [[Epiphyllum]], [[Heliocereus]], [[Hylocereus]]. [[Kimnachia]], [[Marniera]], [[Pseudorhipsalis]], [[Selenicereus]], [[Weberocereus]]


* '''Synonymy:''' We provide extensive cross-references for old names to help collectors find the modern equivalents.
==== Tribe Rhipsalideae ====
* '''Global Standards:''' Adopted by serious collectors and botanical institutions worldwide.
** [[Hatiora]], [[Lepismium]], [[Lymanbensonia]], [[Rhipsalidopsis]], [[Rhipsalis]], [[Schlumbergera]]

* [[Taxonomy Archive]] – Search by genus or species.
 
* [[Botanists & Authors]] – Learn about the people behind the descriptions.
== Notes ==
* [[Cultivation Guides]] – Expert tips on growing rare cacti.
* This classification strictly follows the Joël Lodé system (v1.19), based on his final updates in December 2019.
* '''Leuenbergerioideae''' is now recognized as a distinct subfamily for the "Northern clade" of former Pereskia.
* '''Rehabilitated genera (2019):''' Includes [[Homalocephala]], [[Deamia]], [[Kadenicarpus]], [[Ancistrocactus]], [[Rhipsalidopsis]], [[Heliocereus]], and [[Salmonopuntia]].  
* '''New genera:''' Added [[Cremnocereus]] and [[Kimnachia]].
* '''Echinopsis alliance:''' Lodé maintains the separation of [[Trichocereus]], [[Lobivia]], and [[Soehrensia]] (included in Lobivia here) from [[Echinopsis]] s.s.
