Soehrensia is a genus of cacti native to South America.
It is native to northern Argentina, Bolivia, northern Chile, Paraguay and Peru, and has been introduced elsewhere, including Mexico, southern Africa and Spain. [1]
The genus was established by Curt Backeberg in 1938. [1]
The genus name of Soehrensia is in honour of Johannes Soehrens (died 1934), who was a Dutch botanist and Professor and Director of the Botanical Garden in Santiago de Chile. He was an authority on cacti. [2]
Studies in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in several formerly separate genera being absorbed into Echinopsis, including Soehrensia and Helianthocereus, [3] until it was re-assessed to be a separate genus. [4] [5]
As of October 2023 [update], Plants of the World Online accepted the following species: [1]
