Mammillaria is the type genus of the tribe Cacteae of the subfamily Cactoideae of the family Cactaceae.  In fact all cacti should be named "Mammilariaceae", but the name "Cactaceae" has been conserved (Nomen conservandum).  The generic name Mammillaria is also a nomen conservandum, on one hand against Linné's genus cactus, on the other hand, against an earlier homonym, the algae species Mammillaria.  Linneé's genus "Cactus" was soon (in 1905) given up, because it included too many species unrelated to each other.
