Cacteae
Cacteae is a tribe of plants of the family Cactaceae found mainly in North America especially Mexico.[1] As of August 2018, the internal classification of the family Cactaceae remained uncertain and subject to change. A classification incorporating many of the insights from the molecular studies was produced by Nyffeler and Eggli in 2010.[2]

The classification of cacti is in flux; the following list of genera is that from Nyffeler and Eggli (2010).[2]
- Acharagma
- Ariocarpus
- Astrophytum
- Aztekium
- Coryphantha
- Digitostigma
- Echinocactus
- Echinomastus
- Epithelantha
- Escobaria
- Ferocactus
- Geohintonia
- Leuchtenbergia
- Lophophora
- Mammillaria – Cochemiea has been split off since Nyffeler and Eggli (2010)[3]
- Mammilloydia
- Neolloydia
- Obregonia
- Ortegocactus – since sunk into Cochemiea[3]
- Pediocactus
- Pelecyphora
- Sclerocactus
- Stenocactus
- Strombocactus
