Tribe
Phyllocacteae Salm-Dyck
:
—
Nyffeler & Eggli (2010)
stated that the monophyly of the tribe is well supported by
Nyffeler (2002)
and
Crozier (2005)
. Moreover, for nomenclatural reasons, the name
Phyllocacteae
(incl. Echinocereeae Buxb.) must be used because it has priority over all the other relevant tribal names, i.e.
Hylocereeae Buxb.
, Leptocereeae Buxb.,
Pachycereeae Buxb.
and Peniocereeae Doweld. Despite of this,
Hunt
et al.
(2013)
placed the three Chilean genera (
Austrocactus
Britton & Rose
,
Eulychnia
Phil., and
Corryocactus
Britton & Rose
) within Echinocereeae Buxb.,
Nyffeler & Eggli (2010)
proposed the following three subtribes, one of which (Subtribe
Corryocactinae Buxb.
) includes the three Chilean genera. The relationships between
Austrocactus
,
Eulychnia
, and
Corryocactus
was corroborated by various molecular-based studies (e.g.
Nyffeler 2002
,
Hernández-Hernández
et al.
2011
, Bárcenas
et al.
2011).
