Pfeiffera is a genus of flowering plants in the family Cactaceae, found in Bolivia and northwest Argentina.[1] There is some debate about the circumscription of the genus.[2] It is in the Phyllocacteae tribe.
The genus name of Pfeiffera is in honour of Ludwig Karl Georg Pfeiffer (1805–1877), a German physician, botanist and conchologist.[3] It was first described and published in Cact. Hort. Dyck., edt. 1844 on page 40 in 1845.[1]
