Biology:Lobivia
Lobivia is a formerly recognized genus of cacti native to South America from Bolivia, Peru to northwestern Argentina and Northern Chile. As of November 2025[update], it was considered by Plants of the World Online to be a synonym of the genus Echinopsis.[1]
Taxonomy
The genus Lobivia was established by Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose in 1922.[2] Its status as an independent genus has varied. In the CITES Cactaceae Checklists prior to 2016, it was treated as a synonym of Echinopsis. In the 3rd edition of 2016, it was restored as an independent genus based on a 2012 phylogenetic study.[3] A major 2025 classification of the family Cactaceae returned Lobivia to a synonym of Echinopsis,[4] a view accepted by Plants of the World Online as of November 2025[update].[1]
