Aztekium hintonii
Aztekium hintonii is a small Aztekium capable of extremely slow growth in rocky, arid habitat. Distinct broad ribs, transverse grooves, a small body and areoles around the centre should be evaluated together for identification. Its compact appearance does not imply a need for continuous moisture; the native context combines mineral surfaces, strong but sometimes filtered light, airflow and the absence of prolonged water around the roots.

Aztekium ritteri
Aztekium ritteri is a small Aztekium capable of extremely slow growth in rocky, arid habitat. A very small flattened to globose body, numerous narrow ribs, fine grooves and dense areole rows form the characteristic identification context. Its compact appearance does not imply a need for continuous moisture; the native context combines mineral surfaces, strong but sometimes filtered light, airflow and the absence of prolonged water around the roots.

Aztekium valdezii
Aztekium valdezii is a small Aztekium capable of extremely slow growth in rocky, arid habitat. A very small body, fine rib arrangement, transverse rib markings and central areoles are evaluated together for identification. Its compact appearance does not imply a need for continuous moisture; the native context combines mineral surfaces, strong but sometimes filtered light, airflow and the absence of prolonged water around the roots.
