Soehrensia candicans is a species of cactus from northern and western Argentina (Monte Desert).

[2] Soehrensia candicans has a shrubby growth habit, with individual stems up to 60 cm (24 in) tall.

[2] Soehrensia candicans is widespread in the Argentine provinces of Mendoza, San Juan, Córdoba, La Rioja, La Pampa, Buenos Aires and San Luis in the foothills of the Andes and Sierras of the Pampas at altitudes of 100 to 2000 meters.

[3][4] The species was first described in print by Joseph zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck in 1834 in his work Hortus Dyckensis, where he attributed the name Cereus candicans to Gillies.

[2] In a 1987 publication, David Hunt transferred the species to the genus Echinopsis, attributing this placement to Frédéric Weber.
