description_en: Genus of about 17 species of small, mainly spherical to cylindrical, solitary or clustering, perennial cacti from low-lying areas, semi-desert, and arid, uncultivated land in S. Canada, USA, N. Mexico, and Cuba. The stems are studded with tubercles (each with a furrow immediately above it) and very spiny, generally white areoles. In summer, diurnal, mostly bell-shaped flowers are produced from the areoles of young tubercles at or around the crowns. In frost-prone areas, grow in an indoor or bowl garden, or in a temperate greenhouse; in warm, dry areas, grow in a raised bed or desert garden.
