== Overview ==
== Classification of the Family Cactaceae ==
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.
The family is divided into four subfamilies. Below is the complete taxonomic backbone according to '''Joël Lodé (2015-2026)'''.


== Classification by Joël Lodé ==
=== I. Subfamily [[Pereskioideae]] ===
The family ''Cactaceae'' is divided into four main subfamilies. Explore the genera within each group:
* [[Pereskia]]


=== [[Pereskioideae]] ===
=== II. Subfamily [[Maihuenioideae]] ===
* The most primitive cacti with true leaves.
* [[Maihuenia]]
* '''Key Genera:''' ''Pereskia'', ''Leuenbergeria''.


=== [[Maihuenioideae]] ===
=== III. Subfamily [[Opuntioideae]] ===
* Small, succulent shrubs from the Andes.
==== Tribe Austrocylindropuntieae ====
* '''Key Genera:''' ''Maihuenia''.
* [[Austrocylindropuntia]], [[Cumulopuntia]], [[Punotia]]
==== Tribe Cylindropuntieae ====
* [[Cylindropuntia]], [[Grusonia]], [[Pereskiopsis]], [[Quiabentia]]
==== Tribe Opuntieae ====
* [[Brasiliopuntia]], [[Consolea]], [[Miqueliopuntia]], [[Opuntia]], [[Salmonopuntia]], [[Tacinga]]
==== Tribe Pterocacteae ====
* [[Pterocactus]]
==== Tribe Tephrocacteae ====
* [[Maihueniopsis]], [[Tephrocactus]]


=== [[Opuntioideae]] ===
=== IV. Subfamily [[Cactoideae]] ===
* Characterized by glochids and specialized seed structures.
This is the most complex subfamily, divided into 9 major tribes under the Lodé system.
* '''Major Tribes:''' [[Cylindropuntieae]], [[Opuntieae]], [[Tephrocacteae]].


=== [[Cactoideae]] ===
==== 1. Tribe [[Blossfeldieae]] ====
* The largest subfamily, containing the vast majority of desert and epiphytic cacti.
* [[Blossfeldia]]
* '''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'')

== Why Lodé Taxonomy? ==
==== 8. Tribe [[Rhipsalideae]] ====
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.
* [[Hatiora]], [[Lepismium]], [[Rhipsalis]], [[Schlumbergera]]


* '''Synonymy:''' We provide extensive cross-references for old names to help collectors find the modern equivalents.
==== 9. Tribe [[Trichocereeae]] ====
* '''Global Standards:''' Adopted by serious collectors and botanical institutions worldwide.
* [[Arthrocereus]], [[Borzicactus]], [[Cleistocactus]], [[Denmoza]], [[Discocactus]], [[Espostoa]], [[Espostoopsis]], [[Facheiroa]], [[Gymnocalycium]], [[Haageocereus]], [[Harrisia]], [[Lasiocereus]], [[Leocereus]], [[Lobivia]], [[Matucana]], [[Mila]], [[Oreocereus]], [[Oroya]], [[Pygmaeocereus]], [[Rauhocereus]], [[Rebutia]], [[Samaipaticereus]], [[Soehrensia]], [[Trichocereus]], [[Weberbauerocereus]], [[Yungasocereus]]
