Description
For the genus of sea urchin, see Echinopsis (sea urchin). Not to be confused with Echinops. Echinopsis is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, E. chamaecereus, is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from echinos hedgehog or sea urchin, and opsis appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines. Echinopsis is distinguished from Echinocactus by the length of the flower tube, from Cereus by the form and size of their stems,[citation needed] and from both in the position on the stem occupied by the flowers. They are remarkable for the great size, length of tube, and beauty of their flowers, which, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems, appear much larger and more attractive than would be expected. Especially the flowering plant is Echinopsis marsoneri . First described by Erich Werdermann . The Echinopsis marsoneri kahenera members of Echinopsis the family Cactaceae . Nowadays there is no such thing as being listed under it.
