Echinofossulocactus

A rare, entirely spineless form, presumed to be a mutant of Echinofossulocactus albatus. The pale green stem bears delicate, subtly wavy ribs divided into short, elongated tubercles.

Peculiar species distinguished for its small sized yellowish blooms, very short flattened foliaceous central spines and few radial spines.

Solitary stem yellowish-green to dark olive-green. Ribs are very regularly and attractively wavy. Radial spines 4–6, glassy-white; central spines 3, strongly flattened, brownish-purple, upright, with one distinctly longer.

Mix of Echinofossulocactus (Stenocactus), assorted with various species and seed-grown hybrids. Each plant is one-of-a-kind, featuring unique shapes, spination, and flower colors.

White-woolly depressed apex. Rounded stems with about 35 slender ribs featuring sharp, wavy edges. Radial spines are bristle-like, silky, near-transparent (whitish-cream), while centrals are thicker, longer, and amber to tan-colored.

Very long, flat, and papery spines. A stunning plant even when not in bloom. Flowers white and feature a pink midline on the petals. Previously classified under different names, such as E. multicostatus, E . zacatecasensis and E.phyllacanthus.

Numerous wavy ribs topped with long, sturdy central spines. Flowers feature pale, pearly petals, each marked by a central stripe and a soft pink throat, creating a delicate, luminous effect.

Juvenile plants bear densely spined areoles, progressively reducing to 3-5 spines when mature. Its flowers display snow-white petals dramatically accentuated by a royal purple midline.

Variegated plants with yellow-tinged epidermis. Grown from seeds of variegated parents.

Showy pink-violet blooms paired with remarkable spines—central ones begin short but elongate and flatten dramatically as the plant ages, creating a unique silhouette.

A globular cactus featuring numerous thin, wavy ribs. Boasts glassy white radial spines and three sharp brown central spines, with the middle one distinctively flattened.

Thirteen broad, flat ribs and stout spines. Echinofossulocactus coptonogonus stands out as the most unusual and easily identifiable species in the Stenocactus group, with a compressed stem and straight, wide ribs reminiscent of Homalocephala texensis.

Numerous wavy ribs and pinkish-white flowers with a darker midline. Note: matches E. phyllacanthus var. violaciflorus and E. dichroacanthus listed in earlier catalogues.

Cactus with globular stems that elongate with age. The name “pentacanthus” comes from its five spines per areole: three major upper spines, two conical and ascending, one flattened yellow to brown, and two minor lower spines.

Beautiful plant which over time forms flattened, very wide central spines curved towards the centre. Very impressive and different. An impressive feature that becomes more dramatic with age.

Echinofossulocactus dichroacanthus typically has 3 strong flattened central spines and 4-6 glassy-white radial spines.

Many thin wavy ribs, few strong spines, pinkish striped flowers!

Super spines, flat central spines!

Sulphur yellow spines. Globose cactus with many slender, undulating ribs. Features crystalline white radials and 3-7 sulfur-yellow, distinctly flattened central spines, the middle one being markedly thicker.

Flattened body with numerous thin, wavy ribs, long, paper-like spines, and blooms with a distinct darker central stripe.

Extraordinary Echinofossulocactus (Stenocactus) with rare body variegation. These mutants occur sporadically in cultivation. Each specimen is hand-selected and sold separately. Limited availability, no restock guaranteed.

Globose cactus with tightly packed, undulating ribs. Papery spines range from snow-white to yellow to blood-red to jet-black, featuring three distinctive non-annulate centrals (middle one flattened). The blooms blush white with purple veining.

Crowded with jet-black, upward-pointing central spines (flattened like daggers) atop undulating ribs. Among Echinofossulocactus, this is one of the most  beautifully armed.

Solitary globose cactus with pale green skin and gracefully undulating ribs. Distinguished by sulphur-yellow central spines (one towering to 5cm) and 7-8 yellowish-white radials. Flowers yellow or ethereal pinkish-white.

The extremely elongated areoles, bearing short, pure white spines, give this plant a truly distinctive appearance, making it instantly recognizable. Its unique and characteristic structure makes it a rare cactus, prized for its unusual look.

Ball-shaped cactus with wavy-margined ribs. White areoles bear 5–12 spines, the upper one flattened and wide, reddish-brown. Spring-blooming with pale yellow to pink flowers, each petal featuring a purplish-red stripe.

Awl-shaped spines that are rigid, straight or slightly curved. Their pointed, elongated form gives the plant a strong, sharp appearance, making it visually distinctive and clearly recognizable.
