''Pediocactus'' (Greek: πεδίον (pedion) means "plain", "flat", "field") is a genus of cacti. The genus comprises between 6 and 11 species, depending upon the authority. Species of this genus are referred to as hedgehog cacti, though that name is also applied to plants from the genera ''Echinocereus'' and ''Echinopsis''. Species may also be referred to as pincushion cacti, a common name which is also applied to other genera. ==Synonyms== The genus has 3 synonyms: *''Navajoa'' Croizat *''Pilocanthus'' B.W.Benson & Backeb. *''Utahia'' Britton & Rose ''Sclerocactus'' and ''Pediocactus'' were also at one time reduced to synonymy, but this is not at present considered to be correct. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pediocactus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
