This study aims at listing some Cactaceae species associated with a relictual hill placed in the pampa biome, revealing ecological taxonomic, and distributional aspects. Trips were done in 2022 and 2023 monthly, and fertile samples to taxonomic identification were collected and herborized. The inventory points out that all the taxons found belong to the Cactoideae subfamily, resulting in nine species distributed in five genera (Cereus, Echinopsis, Lepismium, Parodia, Rhipsalis). Two species, one of Lepismium and the other of Rhipsalis, are new to the local flora. The forests preservation in relictual elevations like the Loreto small hill became important to the maintenance of an epiphytic flora inside a predominantly meadow context.
