As of November 2025[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lobivia&action=edit), it was considered by [Plants of the World Online](/source/Plants_of_the_World_Online) to be a [synonym](/source/Synonym_(taxonomy)) of the genus *[Echinopsis](/source/Echinopsis)*.[1] ## Taxonomy The genus *Lobivia* was established by [Nathaniel Lord Britton](/source/Nathaniel_Lord_Britton) and [Joseph Nelson Rose](/source/Joseph_Nelson_Rose) in 1922.[2] Its status as an independent genus has varied. In the [CITES](/source/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[\[update\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lobivia&action=edit).[1] ### Species Species previously placed in the genus *Lobivia* include:[5] - *Lobivia ancistrophora* (Speg.)
