Comment:

Comment ja: POWOでは2022-05-14時点では正名だったが、2025年にはEchinopsisの異名となっている。Echinopsisの範囲をどこまでにするかによるが、Romeiro-Brito et al. (2023) ではDenmoza, Lobivia, Setiechinopsis, Soehrensia, Trichocereus などを含むクレードをEchinopsis としている。POWOではDenmozaをEchinopsisに含めているが、他の属は正名としているので、本データベースでは当面Denmozaも正名とする。

Type species: Denmoza rhodacantha (Salm-Dyck) Britton & Rose (1922) Accepted
