THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Plantae Tracheophyta Magnoliopsida Caryophyllales Cactaceae Taxon Name: Coryphantha pallida Britton & Rose Taxonomic Source(s): Hunt, D., Taylor, N. and Charles, G. (compilers and editors). 2006. The New Cactus Lexicon. dh Books, Milborne Port, UK. Taxonomic Notes: Two subspecies are recognized, the typical form and susbp. calipensis (Bravo ex Arias, U.Guzmán & S.Gama) Dicht & A.Lüthy. These are not assessed separately. Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Least Concern ver 3.1 Year Published: 2013 Date Assessed: April 29, 2009 Justification: Coryphantha pallida has a relatively wide range, it occurs within the Biosphere Reserve of Tehuacán- Cuicatlán and it is locally propagated, hence the species is listed as Least Concern. However, there is evidence of illegal collection and habitat fragmentation affecting the population. Field studies are urgently needed to establish if the species qualifies as Vulnerable. Geographic Range Range Description: Coryphantha pallida is endemic to Puebla and Oaxaca, Mexico, occurring in the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley (Arias et al. 1997, López-Galindo et al. 2003, Méndez-Larios et al. 2006), at elevations of 1,000 to 2,400 m asl. Country Occurrence: Native: Mexico (Oaxaca, Puebla) © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Coryphantha pallida – published in 2013. 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T152377A630209.en Population The species is common but not abundant and grows on calcareous soil. Some subpopulations are in decline due to illegal collection (T. Valverde pers. comm. 2009). Current Population Trend: Decreasing Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) The species grows in low tropical caduceus forest and xerophyllous scrub on calcareous soils (Arias et al. 1997). It prefers low forest-shrub that is closely associated with mezquital. It is often associated with Prosposis laevigata (López-Galindo et al. 2003). Systems: Terrestrial Use and Trade (see Appendix for additional information) The plants are extracted from wild populations and sold locally as ornamentals (T. Valverde pers. comm. 2009). Threats (see Appendix for additional information) Hydraulic erosion, and chemical, physical and biological degradation in Tehuacán-Cuicatlán due to mining, agriculture and livestock are some of the major threats (López-Galindo et al. 2003). Illegal collection is another major threat; Coryphantha pallida is popular for its attractive flowers and the populations are in decline due to collection of plants, especially larger specimens. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) This cactus is present but non-endemic in the Biospehere Reserve of Tehuacán-Cuicatlán (Méndez-Larios et al. 2006). The species is propagated locally in the Zapotilán Salinas nursery and the Reserve administration carries out environmental education programs with the local people (C. Hernández pers. comm. 2009).

In this work, the phytochemical profile of aerial and radicular parts of Coryphantha macromeris (Engelm.) Britton & Rose growing under greenhouse conditions was qualitatively investigated for the first time by means of modern ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS). The UHPLC-PDA-HESI-Orbitrap-MS/MS analysis indicated a high complexity in phenolic metabolites. In our investigation, 69 compounds were detected and 60 of them were identified. Among detected compounds, several phenolic acids, phenolic glycosides, and organic acids were found. Within this diversity, 26 metabolites were exclusively detected in the aerial part, and 19 in the roots.

Strong straw-colored central spines form cluster, one per areole, measure up to 3.0 cm (1.2 in.) long. Central spine 2.0 mm (0.08 in.) in diameter, curved or hooked at abruptly narrowing tip. Radial spines number 6 in young plants, increasing to 10-15 in older plants. Vary from 19.0-23.0 mm (0.76-0.92 in.) long with upper ones more slender. Areoles covered densely with deciduous wool which disappears at maturity. Tubercles grooved along upper surface. Stems can branch and clumps can form. Silky yellow flowers, coral color on edges, have narrow floral tube. Green fruit ellipsoid, succulent and sweet. Brown or black seeds finely veined or netted.

The purpose of five-year reviews is to evaluate whether or not a species’ status has changed since it was listed, or since completion of the most recent 5-year review. Our original listing as endangered or threatened is based on the five threat factors described in section 4(a)(1) of the ESA. In the 5-year review, we first review the best available scientific and commercial data on the species, focusing on any new information obtained since the species was listed or last reviewed.

Adams St. Phoenix, Arizona 85007 [email protected] Authors: Aaron D. Flesch A.D. Flesch and Associates 1116 W. Alameda Street Tucson Arizona, 85745 [email protected] Ian Murray and Brian Powell Pima County Office of Sustainability and Conservation 201 N. Stone Ave Tucson, AZ 85701 September 30, 2017 ABSTRACT Efficient and accurate surveys methods are essential for understanding abundance and habitat relationships of plants and wildlife, especially species of conservation concern. The Pima Pineapple Cactus (Coryphantha scheeri var. robustispina) is a federally-listed endangered species in southern Arizona that is commonly surveyed for compliance with federal law and for research and monitoring. We tested a new survey method for this species based on distance sampling (DS), which involves measuring distances to focal objects from lines or points and modeling a detection function that adjusts estimates of abundance for variation in detection probability. We compared estimates of density and population size from DS with values obtained with the recommended survey protocol (Roller method) that focuses on a complete census of all individuals in a focal area. Additionally, we assessed factors that influenced detection probability and detection distance, associations between local estimates of density from DS and various environmental factors, and summarized recommendations for future applications of DS in this system. We recorded 105 live and 15 dead Pima Pineapple Cacti while DS along 36.9 km of line transects at 11 focal sites in the Brawley and Santa Cruz watersheds.
