Echinopsis albispinosa

Echinopsis albispinosa is a species of cactus from Argentina.

[1] Although Echinopsis sylvestrii is a synonym of this species, it should not be confused with Chamaecereus silvestrii, which has a very different appearance.

[2] Echinopsis albispinosa usually grows singly, but occasionally branches and then forms small groups.

The long, tube-shaped, funnel-shaped, white flowers have no scent.

[3] Echinopsis albispinosa is widespread in the Argentine provinces of Salta and Tucumán at lower altitudes of 500 to 1000 meters.
