|discussion=<p>Of conservation concern.</p><!--
--><p><i>Pediocactus winkleri</i> (and <i>P. despainii</i>) were recently combined with <i>P. bradyi</i>. Analyses of chloroplast DNA sequences (J. M. Porter et al. unpubl.), however, provide strong evidence of a close relationship among <i>P. winkleri</i>, <i>P. despainii</i>, and <i>P. simpsonii</i>, not <i>P. bradyi</i>. By contrast, <i>P. bradyi</i> is more closely related to <i>P. sileri</i> and <i>P. peeblesianus</i>. The morphologic distinction between <i>P. winkleri</i> and <i>P. despainii</i> is much more tenuous than the key and descriptions indicate (see comments under 9. <i>P. despainii</i>).</p><!--
--><p><i>Pediocactus winkleri</i> is in the Center for Plant Conservation’s National Collection of Endangered Plants.</p>
