description_en: Genus of about 150 species of spherical to cylindrical or columnar, perennial cacti from semi-desert regions, mainly in Mexico, but also in S. USA, the West Indies, Central America, Colombia, and Venezuela. Most offset freely to form clusters. Conical, cylindrical, or somewhat flattened tubercles encircle spined stems. The funnel-shaped, diurnal, white to yellow, orange, red, pink, or purple flowers are mostly borne in a ring around the crown. The berry-like fruits are oblong-ovoid to club-shaped. In frost-prone areas, grow in a temperate greenhouse or as houseplants. In warmer areas, grow on a gentle slope or raised ground in a desert garden.
