Reicheocactus pseudoreicheanus
Is a spherical plant, 6 - 7 cm in diameter with red-green to brown-red epidermis, short, bristly spines and yellow flowers. In modern botanical systems, Reicheocactus is classified in the genus Neoporteria. It is also closely related to the genus Lobivia, particulary in the structure and location of flowers on the lower part of the body. The original habitat of R. pseudoreicheanus is unknown, and the cactus had never been found again. The plant in the picture has been grown for over 30 years in Europe. Grafting is recommended in all the three species, as with the miniature species of Neochilenia and cool, light winter conditions at 10°C should be provided.

Adromischus cristatus
Adromischus cristatus is barely 10 cm tall with pale green leaves. As with other species, the leaves often form aerial roots, and the leaves if detached will root readily. They often fall off themselves and can be used in this way.

Adromischus cooperi
The leaves on short stems are densely aggregated and the spots on the leaves are dark brown to black. These small shrubby plants are decorative when grown on window-sills. The requirements of all the species in cultivation are roughly the same as for those of Aeonium - winter temperatures can drop to 10°C.
