Name and natural range

Cumarinia odorata (formerly Coryphantha odorata) is the accepted name in Plants of the World Online. Neobesseya odorata and Neolloydia odorata also lead to the same record. The natural range given by the database includes northeastern Mexico and extends to Jalisco. The species is associated primarily with desert and dry scrub. [2-WWW]

Sample in the relatedness analysis

Sánchez and colleagues included the species in an analysis of five chloroplast DNA regions published in 2022. The material came from San Luis Potosí and was grown in the UNAM Botanical Garden. The publication identifies it as collection J. Reyes 5940. The sample represented the species in a comparison of relationships among genera of tuberculate Cacteae. [Sánchez et al. 2022, pp. 117, 155, appendix 1]

Materials from the author's archive

The species also appears in Konrad Szychowski's private material archive. [Kaktusy i Inne 2005c, file p. 25]

Phylogenetic relationships in Coryphantha and implications on Pelecyphora and Escobaria (Cacteae, Cactoideae, Cactaceae)

Sánchez D., Vázquez-Benítez B., Vázquez-Sánchez M., Aquino D., Arias S., Phylogenetic relationships in Coryphantha and implications on Pelecyphora and Escobaria (Cacteae, Cactoideae, Cactaceae), PhytoKeys, 2022, 188:115-165, doi: 10.3897/phytokeys.188.75739

A study of five plastid DNA regions, sequence length changes and eight morphological features. It analyses Coryphantha boundaries and relationships between Escobaria species and the two classical Pelecyphora species. It proposes expanding Pelecyphora and publishes new combinations with type and synonym documentation. It discusses tubercle grooves, tepal margins and seed coat sculpturing, including exceptions in P. chihuahuensis and P. macromeris.
