Lem. (illustration) and Lophophora williamsii (Lem.) Coult. (illustration), the Mammillaria genus covered with warty protrusions, the Ariocarpus genus with warts deformed into large triangles, the Kōzan ( Leuchtenbergia principis Hook.) with its long, rod-like protrusions rather than angular warts, and the Echinofossulocactus genus with up to 80 ridges.
