Note:

Most infraspecific taxa are weakly defined and intergrade and subspecific taxa here are only tentative. These are not always accepted (Parfitt & Gibson).
The name Echinocactus reichenbachianus Terscheck ex Fennel in Otto & A.Dietr., Allg. Gartenzeitung 15: 282 (1843), is sometimes cited but does not exist [1].
