Tribe of cacti

Rebutiinae Browningia candelaris Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae Clade: Embryophytes Clade: Tracheophytes Clade: Spermatophytes Clade: Angiosperms Clade: Eudicots Order: Caryophyllales Family: Cactaceae Subfamily: Cactoideae Tribe: Cereeae Subtribe: Rebutiinae Donald (1955) Type genus Rebutia Genera See text Synonyms Browningieae Buxb. 1966

The **Rebutiinae** are a subtribe of [cacti](/source/Cactus) belonging to the subfamily [Cactoideae](/source/Cactoideae), tribe [Cereeae](/source/Cereeae).[1] A 2010 classification accepted seven or eight genera, but when [circumscribed](/source/Circumscription_(taxonomy)) in this way, the subtribe was not [monophyletic](/source/Monophyly). A 2023 classification reduced Rebutiinae to three genera.

## Description

Rebutiinae are large tree-like or shrubby plants. Their columnar shoots are articulated or not articulated. The ribs are usually heavily spined. The medium to large flowers appearing on the side usually open at night. Their pericarpel has imbricated scales. The areoles have thorns or bristles. The fleshy fruits are not bursting, scaly, thorned or glabrous. The medium-sized to large seeds are often wrinkled. The hilum and micropyle of the seeds are fused, an appendage is absent, and a mucous sheath is sometimes present.

## Taxonomy

In a 2010 classification of the tribe [Cereeae](/source/Cereeae), the subtribe Rebutiinae comprised seven or eight genera, depending on whether *[Aylostera](/source/Aylostera)* was recognized as separate from *[Rebutia](/source/Rebutia)*. It was accepted that with this [circumscription](/source/Circumscription_(taxonomy)) the subtribe was not [monophyletic](/source/Monophyly).[2][3] A 2023 [molecular phylogenetic](/source/Molecular_phylogenetics) study confirmed that the subtribe was not monophyletic, and proposed a reduced subtribe of just three genera.[4]

### Genera

In the 2023 classification, the subtribe contains three genera:[4]
