Notocactus was my favourite genus when I
first started growing cacti but today it is just
not popular, at least in the UK. However, it
does have its followers and even a society
dedicated to its study. You can find out about

A useful softbound book ‘Notokakteen’,
written in German by Norbert Gerloff and two
co-authors, was published in 1995. Although
most of the pictures are black & white, I still
find it a useful reference because it covers the
whole genus known at that time, including
Eriocactus, Brasilicactus and Wigginsia.
Notocactus are often included in the genus
Parodia but be aware that some species had
their names changed in the process because the
name in Parodia was already used. GC
