description_en: Genus of2 species of variable, perennial cacti occurring in semi-arid areas of S. Texas (USA), and N. and E. Mexico. They have thick, tuberous rootstocks, and flattened-spherical stems that may become more cylindrical with age. Areoles bear a few weak spines when young, later just a few white hairs. Diurnal, solitary, bell-shaped flowers are produced at the tips of the stems and last 2-3 days. Where temperatures drop below 10°C (50°F), grow in a warm greenhouse or as houseplants; in warmer climates, plant outdoors in a desert garden, preferably on sloping ground.
