Originally from Mexico, especially from areas in the states of Hidalgo and Querétaro; the botanical species name "grusonii" is said to be an allusion to the Magdeburg entrepreneur and inventor Hermann Gruson (1821-1895), who owned the largest cactus collection in Europe at the time. In 2008, the mother-in-law's seat was voted cactus of the year.
