Type locality: Bolivia. 
Distribution: Bolivia. 
This plant was collected by Mr. 
Thomas Bridges in Bolivia in 1844 and 
first described by Salm-Dyck in 1845 as 
Echinocactus obrepandus, but when in 1850 
he transferred it to Echinopsis he changed 
the specific name to cristata. A part of 
Bridges’s material went to Kew; one of 
the specimens produced purple flowers, 
and another nearly white flowers; there is 
a possibility that more than one species 
was collected by Bridges at this time. The 
figures given in Gartenflora (38: f. 47) and 
Monatsschrift fiir Kakteenkunde (12: 169) 
are not quite typical. Here Weber refers 
Echinopsis obliqua Cels (Dict. Hort. Bois 
472. 1896). 
The plant is known to us only from 
descriptions and illustrations. :
