Ferocactus tiburonensis is a species of Ferocactus found in Mexico. [2]
Ferocactus tiburonensis is a solitary cactus, reaching up to 1 meter in height and 35 centimeters in diameter. It has around 21 slightly tuberous ribs and grooved spines that are hard to distinguish between central and peripheral spines. The four straight or twisted central spines, arranged crosswise, can grow up to 9 centimeters long, with the lowest occasionally flattened. Its small, non-bristle-like marginal thorns resemble the central thorns.
The plant blooms from April and May. The funnel-shaped, yellow flowers are up to 6 centimeters long and 5 centimeters in diameter, while the spherical fruits are yellow, fleshy, and 2 to 4 centimeters long. [3] [4]
The plant is found growing in eastern bajada to Sierra Kunkaak, Tiburón Island and south of Bahía Kino to the vicinity of Tastiota in Sonora, Mexico. [5] [6]
