N2  -  In this paper we analyzed the epidermis of 6-month old representatives of 11 species of the subfamily Cactoideae. The epidermal cells of examined species have sprawled and elongated projections with a sinuous outlines. Most of plants have large epidermal cells, whose number per unit area considerably varies. Stomatal index of the studied species is small and very small. Size of stomata is variation of 32,5±0,5×24,9±0,7 in  Astrophytum myriostigma  to 43,2±0,6×36,1±0,5 in  Rebutia flavistyla . Large stomata are typical for three species of cacti. All examined species have paracytic stomata. The small prismatic crystals are in epidermal cells of three species.  Astrophytum myriostigma  and  Mammillaria prolifera  have papillaes and trichomes on the surface.
