Notes

Harrisia was confirmed as monophyletic by Franck (2012), with a revised infrageneric classification published shortly after (Franck & al. 2013a). The recently described genus Estevesia P. J. Braun was not included in any molecular study so far. It was provisionally placed in the synonymy of Harrisia by Nyffeler & Eggli (2010). For synopsis see Franck (2012); further phylogenetic studies see Franck & al. (2013b).
