Notes
Phylogenetics: Opuntia salmiana has been found as a well-supported lineage out of the Opuntia s.str. clade (Griffith & Porter 2009; Majure & al. 2012), and so treated as separate genus recognized by a combination of distinctive morphological features. The former Salmiopuntia Frič is an invalid name (Mottram 2014), and the attempted validation (Guiggi 2011) superfluous, considering Heath (1999).A
Taxon standing
Category B. The genus is monophyletic based on phylogenetic studies that support the clade based on a sufficiently dense or even complete sampling, or support a monotypic genus as a distinct lineage, but do not provide a new taxonomic treatment at the species level. In many cases, older classical taxonomic synopses or a monographic treatment exist for these genera providing a reliable assessment of the species included.
