Ferobergia is made by crossing Ferocactus and Leuchtenbergia. Back cross means that a Ferobergia has been pollinated back with a Ferocactus. These hybrids look more like Ferocactus, with short tubercles and hooked spines. They are quite variable.

Ferobergia is a horticultural intergeneric hybrid, made by crossing of a Ferocactus as a female and a Leuchtenbergia principis as a male. These hybrids are very variable, due to the intersection of characters deriving from the parents.
