Tribe Cereeae Salm-Dyck :

— Nyffeler & Eggli (2010) proposed a broader circumscription of the tribe Cereeae than traditional concepts (see e.g., Anderson 2001, 2005, Hunt et al. 2013). Lendel (2006) and Ritz et al. (2007) showed, in fact, that the traditionally circumscribed Cereeae and Trichocereeae are not monophyletic. Therefore, we follow Nyffeler & Eggli’s (2010) concept of a tribe Cereeae with three subtribes, i.e. Cereinae Britton & Rose, Rebutiinae Donald (incl. Browningieae Buxb.) and Trichocereinae Britton & Rose .
