Taxonomy

First described as Echinocactus calochlorus by Friedrich Bödeker in 1932, the species was later reclassified as Gymnocalycium calochlorum by Yoshi Itô in 1952. The name "calochlorum" combines the Greek words kalos ("beautiful") and chloros ("green"), referring to its shiny green epidermis.
