There are 14 to 30 tuberculate ribs. The variable white to light brown spines turn gray with age.

Matucana haynei is widespread in Peru from the La Libertad region to the Arequipa region on the western slope of the Andes at altitudes of 1500 to 4100 meters.
The first description as Echinocactus haynii was made in 1850 by Christoph Friedrich Otto in Joseph zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck's Cacteae in horto Dyckensi cultae anno 1849. [4] Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose placed the species in the genus Matucana in 1922. [5] Other nomenclature synonyms are Mammillaria haynei (Otto in Salm-Dyck) Ehrenb. (1844), Cereus haynei (Otto in Salm-Dyck) Croucher (1878), Borzicactus haynei (Otto in Salm-Dyck) Kimnach (1960), Arequipa haynei (Otto in Salm-Dyck) Krainz (1963) and Echinopsis haynei (Otto in Salm-Dyck) Molinari (2015)
Matucana is a genus of cacti, containing approximately 20 species of mostly globular plants. The genus is known only from Peru, mostly along the Marañón River.
Stetsonia coryne, the toothpick cactus, is the sole species in the cactus genus Stetsonia. Stetsonia coryne is native to arid regions of South America, where it grows to a height of 15 to 25 ft tall. It contains mescaline and other alkaloids.
Trichocereus macrogonus, synonym Echinopsis macrogonus, is a species of cactus found in Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Two varieties are accepted as of September 2023: var. macrogonus and var. pachanoi. Plants contain varying amounts of the psychoactive alkaloid mescaline. They have been used both ritually and in traditional medicine from pre-Columbian times. Trichocereus macrogonus is one of a number of similar species that may be called San Pedro cactus. Indigenous names include achuma and huachuma, although these too may be applied to similar species.

It is more of a woody shrubby, often somewhat tree-like species, growing up to approximately 1 meter tall and wide. It is morphologically similar to Opuntia chlorotica, Opuntia santa-rita, and Opuntia gosseliniana.
