Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Ariocarpus fissuratus group

• Ariocarpus bravoanus H.M.Hern. & E.F.Anderson: It is particularly interesting as it represents a link between the former subgenera Ariocarpus with an undivided or fully divided areole and Roseocactus subgenus with the areolar fissure.
• Ariocarpus bravoanus subs. hintonii (Stuppy & N.P.Taylor) E.F.Anderson & W.A.Fitz Maur.
• Ariocarpus bravoanus subs. hintonii f. monstruosa rubra hort.: has soft rubbery textured red montrous stems, only a few centimeters across and plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus K.Schum. in Engl. & Prantl: Geophyte plant that produces a star-shaped rosette of fleshy, deltoid to hemispheric tubercles which are coarsely rugose and characteristically deeply fissured on either side of the central areolar groove.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus f. aurea: Mutant completely lacking chlorophyll pigment. The result is a completely yellow .
• Ariocarpus fissuratus var. lloydii (Rose) W.T.Marshall: has higher, somewhat rounded and more convex stem appearing above the ground.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus var. lloydii f. aurea hort.: Mutant completely lacking chlorophyll pigment. The result is a completely yellow or orangish plant.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus var. lloydii f. cristata hort.: crested form.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus var. lloydii cv. latus
• Ariocarpus fissuratus f. monstruosus: It shows an abnormal, uncoordinated form of vegetative growth, with a multitude of condensed lateral proliferation, each areole originating a new stem only a few centimetres across.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus var. pailanus Halda
• Ariocarpus fissuratus f. pectinatus hort.: has long areoles that stretch out to the full length of the tubercle and uncommon short pectinated spines already present in young specimens. Distribution: Only known from cultivated specimen.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus f. rubra hort.: has notches ribs of a bright red colour due to the absence (or reduced production) of chlorophyll pigments.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. Godzilla: Odd plant with strongly structured surface and the deep colour, but greener or woollier plants are in the variation range of this cultivar.
• Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. Godzilla (Cotton Flock Type): Very woolly form. The rough tubercles epidermis is almost concealed by the dense long hairs .
• Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. Godzilla aurata
• Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. Godzilla variegata
• Ariocarpus fissuratus cv. Green Coral: this cultivar must be considered the next step of "Godzilla" with larger and longer green warts on the tubercles surface.
• Ariocarpus intermedius (Backeb. & Kilian) M.Voldan: (A. fissuratus var. intermedius) intermediate form between Ariocarpus fissuratus and Ariocarpus lloydii.
