Description

Echinopsis albispinosa usually grows singly, but occasionally branches and then forms small groups. The spherical to short cylindrical shoots reach heights of 5 to 10 centimeters with diameters of 4 to 8 centimeters. There are twelve to 14 ribs. The circular areoles on them are whitish. The single central spine protrudes. The five to nine marginal thorns lie on the surface of the shoot.

The long, tube-shaped, funnel-shaped, white flowers have no scent. They open at night. The flowers are up to 20 centimeters long. [3]

Distribution

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