Uebelmannia buiningii is an indigenous Brazilian flowering cactus that grow in a very small geographical range in the wild amid gravelly, quartz-heavy soil. Uebelmannia buiningii is an endangered species due to illegal collection, trampling by cattle, and the lack of bee pollinators. This species is not often cultivated because it is very difficult to grow.
The uebelmannia pectinifera is endemic to only one small portion of the world: the northeast part of a specific mountain in Brazil. It is now endangered due to overcollection. This plant can be either spherical or cylindrical. It is sensitive to cold, even more so than other cacti.
