description_en: Genus of 2 or 3 species of perennial cacti from dry, stony slopes, screes, and cliffs, at altitudes to 4,000m (13,000ft), in Peru. They have flattened-spherical to very short-cylindrical, rarely offsetting stems with numerous warty ribs and spined areoles. Bell- or funnel-shaped flowers are usually borne in a ring around the crown of each stem in summer, followed by obovoid to ovoid red or yellow berries containing black-coated seeds. Where temperatures drop below 13°C (55°F), grow in a warm greenhouse; in warm, dry climates, use in a desert garden.
