Soehrensia grandiflora, is a species of Echinopsis found in Argentina.[1]
Description
[edit]Soehrensia grandiflora often branches from the base and forms small groups. The spherical to briefly cylindrical, green shoots are often tapered towards their tip. They reach heights of up to 16 cm (6.3 in) and have a diameter of 11.5 cm (4.5 in). There are nine to 14 wide and rounded ribs. The areoles on them are light brown and are up to 1.5 cm (0.59 in) apart. Light yellow, brown-tipped thorns emerge from them and become darker with age. The one to five central spines are 3.3 to 3.7 cm (1.3 to 1.5 in) long. The seven to twelve radial spines become quite strong over time and are up to 3 cm (1.2 in) long.
The short, funnel-shaped, red flowers are up to 8 cm (3.1 in) long and reach a diameter of 9 cm (3.5 in).[2]
Distribution
[edit]Soehrensia grandiflora is widespread in the Argentine province of Catamarca at medium altitudes of 2500 to 3000 meters.
Taxonomy
[edit]The first description as Lobivia crassicaulis by Roberto Kiesling was published in 1970.[3] Boris O. Schlumpberger placed the species in the genus Soehrensia in 2012.[4]
