The URL on p.292 for David Hunt's CITES Cactaceae checklist 3rd Edition (2016) does not work, but try this:

https://www.kew.org/sites/default/files ... 170629.pdf

It contains long lists of cactus names, without justifications or any images.

So Chamaecereus silvestrii makes a comeback with three other species accepted in the genus!

Best wishes,

It does and it doesn't. Chamaecereus silvestrii is in bold italic whereas Echinopsis chamaecereus is in bold. In other words, the latter is accepted with the former a recognised alternative (see p11). It's a messy solution which he uses in quite a few places.
