Comments

Combining the descriptions of the types with the geographic references of the surveys, it would seem that Cleistocactus tarijensis Cárdenas differs from Cleistocactus hyalacanthus (K. Schumann) Roland-Gosselin as it has fewer spines (about 20 vs. 20-30) and a more northerly distribution in the province of Tarija, in Bolivia, compared to the provinces of Salta and Jujuy, the area of distribution of C. hyalacanthus in Argentina. However, as demonstrated by the surveys of C. hyalacanthus in the provinces of Chuquisaca, Tarija and Tupiza (see Ralph Martin’s field number search), the distinctions are not so evident. As can be noted in the survey of Tarija, Loc Portillo (A&M 525), the population includes very similar individuals (photos 23-27) to C. hyalacanthus, as it can be found in northern Argentina (A&M 171, photo 1-5). In the absence of elements of distinction, it is clear that C. tarijensis is part of C. hyalacanthus. (Quoted from: Anceschi & Magli 2013b, 49)

Echinopsis nothohyalacantha Anceschi & Magli is a replacement name published in cactusinhabitat booklet. South America 2011-2013 (Anceschi & Magli 2013, 38). For the phylogenetic hypothesis adopted for the assimilation of Cleistocactus Lemaire in Echinopsis Zuccarini see booklet (ibid., 22-29). (June 2013)

For years, molecular analysis revealed the close relationship between Echinopsis s.l. and the other genera within the tribe Trichocereeae, or subtribe Trichocereinae (Nyffeler 2002, 317, 319; Schlumpberger 2009; Lendel et al. 2006, unpubl. data in Nyffeler & Eggli 2010). Even more recent molecular analysis of Echinopsis (Schlumpberger & Renner 2012), clearly demonstrated that a cladistically correct interpretation of the molecular data, in the direction of a monophyletic genus Echinopsis, leads to the assimilation in Echinopsis s.l., as currently conceived (Anderson 2001; Hunt et al. 2006; Anderson & Eggli 2011), of Cleistocactus Lemaire, Denmoza Britton & Rose, Haageocereus Backeberg, Harrisia Britton, Oreocereus (A. Berger) Riccobono, Weberbauerocereus Backeberg and 10 other genera of the Trichocereeae/Trichocereinae.

We've dealt extensively with the subject, in the part devoted to the taxonomy in our last booklet (Anceschi & Magli 2013b, 22-29).

Our position is summarized in “The new monophyletic macro-genus Echinopsis. No risk of paraphyly, and the most convincing hypothesis in phylogenetic terms” appeared on Cactaceae Systematics Initiatives N° 31, pages 24-27 (August 2013).

(February 2015)

In cactusinhabitat.org 2010 and 2013, the A&M 186, A&M 564, A&M 575, A&M 581, A&M 585 and A&M 608, now identified with E. nothohyalacantha (tupizensis populations), were incorrectly attributed to Echinopsis buchtienii (Backeberg) Anceschi & Magli.
