List of genera of cacti

Linnaeus' description of the genus Cactus in the 5th edition of Genera Plantarum (1754)

The list of cactus genera contains the genera and generic synonyms described in the cactus family .

The first modern description of a cactus genus and its species was made in 1753 by Carl von Linné in his work Species Plantarum . Under the generic name Cactus he summarized all types of cacti. He discarded the already established generic names Cereus , Opuntia and Pereskia , which, however, were taken up again a year later by Philip Miller . Ludwig Georg Karl Pfeiffer used ten species to classify cacti in 1837. In 1898, Karl Moritz Schumann listed 21 species in his general description of the cacti . The four-volume work The Cactaceae (1919-1923) by the Americans Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose contained descriptions of 124 species of cacti. In 1966 , the German plant collector and cactus researcher Curt Backeberg split the cactus family into 236 genera. At present (2011) around 125 genera are generally recognized.
