Coleocephalocereus goebelianus
Coleocephalocereus goebelianus is an endangered species of plant in the family Cactaceae. It is endemic to Brazil, where it is confined to the state Minas Gerais and Bahia. Its natural habitat is the seasonally dry tropical forest.
Due to major differences to the rest of Coleocephalocereus, the monotypic genus Mariottia has been erected by Guiggi. However, this treatment is not accepted by most authorities.
