Species Notes: Comment from Dave Ferguson -Associate Curator, Rio Grande Botanic Garden: The first image from Cal Cactus would be O. polyacantha var. erinacea, and the plants are of the long flexible-spined form that was [also] named O. ursina. I've seen this specimen. It is I think correctly labelled, but very atypical. The spines are usually much longer and very beautiful yellow or white often with nearly black bases. It is the southern subspecies of O. engelmannii, but has never been officially published as such. |
