MATUCANA. 103 
Type locality: Obrajillo, Peru, but not cited in the original place of publication. 
Distribution: Central Peru. 
Dr. Rose found this species fairly common among rocks just below Matucana, Peru. 
Its long, slender, scarlet flowers make it a very desirable plant for cultivation. This species 
was collected in abundance by Dr. Rose in 1914 but it has not yet flowered in cultivation, 
although it was flowering when collected. The original spelling of the specific name was 
haynti, named, according to Riimpler, for Friedrich Gottlieb Hayne, a professor of botany 
in Berlin, who was born in 1832. Schumann in his Monograph wrote the name Echino- 
cactus haynei and we have adopted his spelling. 
In color, shape, and size, the flowers resemble 
those of species of Borzicactus (Cactaceae 2: 159); 
these, however, have the axils of scales on the 
corolla-tube hairy or woolly. 
Echinocactus heynei (Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 
20: 190. I910) was never described. It may be 
simply a misspelling for E. haynet. 
We have referred here the illustration from the 
Garden because it is made from the same cut as the 
four other illustrations cited below. It is there 
described, however, as a foot high with white 
flowers!

Distribution: Chile (fide Schumann); Lima, Peru (fide Labouret). 
This species is said to resemble Echinocactus acutissimus but is described by Sc a 
as having naked scales and the axils of the scales also naked. If it came from vee rom 
Peru, as is usually stated, it is probably Echinocactus haynei. Sdhrens claims it 1s trom 
Huasco, Chile. 
Gymnocalycium villosum Pfeiffer is vel hapl 
synonym of E. polyrhaphis. E. polyrhaphis is written polygrhaph 
raphis by Salm-Dyck. .
