Notes
Turbinicarpus flaviflorus, previously a subspecies of T. schmiedickeanus is here raised to species rank sice it was shown to be distant from T. schmiedickeanus and closely related to T. alonsoi. Unlike T. schmiedickeanus, which has depressed-globose stems, T. flaviflorus has short cylindrical stems with a slight broadening in the lower part (Donati & Zanovello, 2004). Mosco (2009) explains that under the epidermis of the spines there are fibers with open lumina and <2 μm thick walls, a characteristic that is not shared with T. schmiedickeanus.A
