Corryocactus is a genus of cacti. The genus was formerly placed in the tribe Notocacteae.[citation needed] It has also been placed in the tribe Echinocereeae. A 2011 molecular phylogenetic study excluded the genus from the "core" Echinocereeae, commenting that it lay "outside of a well-supported larger clade in our analysis".[1]
