description_en: Genus of about 40 species of mostly dwarf, clump-forming, simple or clustering, perennial cacti found in mountainous terrain, to 4,000m (13,000ft) high, in Bolivia and N. and N.W. Argentina. They are cultivated for their habit and colourful flowers. The spherical to short-cylindrical, ribbed stems are divided into low tubercles in some species. The areoles have mainly short, bristly spines and, in summer, those near the stem bases bear many trumpet-shaped, diurnal flowers. In frost-prone regions, grow in a temperate greenhouse or as houseplants. In warm, dry areas, use in a desert garden or a raised bed.
