Notes

• 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. [cite: 1, 1099, 1539]
• Rehabilitated genera (2019): Includes Homalocephala, Deamia, Kadenicarpus, Ancistrocactus, Rhipsalidopsis, 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. [cite: 1, 1104, 2468]
