Vernacular names

Cochemiea is a genus of cactus.[2] It has previously been synonymized with Mammillaria, but molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that when broadly circumscribed, Mammillaria is not monophyletic, and Cochemiea has been accepted as a separate genus.[3]
Taxonomy

A molecular phylogenetic study of the "mammilloid clade" showed that it consisted of four monophyletic groups, which the authors re-circumscribed into four genera: Cumarinia; Mammillaria, with a reduced number of species; Coryphantha, expanded to include species previously placed in Mammillaria and Escobaria; and Cochemiea,

Mammilloid clade	Cumarinia       Mammillaria s.s.       Coryphantha s.l.     Cochemiea s.l.

Species

In 2021, Breslin, Wojciechowski and Majure placed the following species in the genus, some already placed there and some moved from Mammillaria, Neomammillaria and Ortegocactus.[3] As of March 2022, Plants of the World Online did not include in the genus the species moved by Breslin et al.[2]
