This interesting species was first introduced into European 
gardens in 1845 by Karwinski but soon disappeared, so that 
in later years when Dr. Engelmann was studying the family 
he was unable to find either living or herbarium material of 
it.* For nearly half a century it remained in obscurity, 
known only by its early record, until only a few years ago 
it was again discovered in its home in Mexico. Since that 
time it has found a place in many collections throughout 
the United States. The Missouri Botanical Garden received 
its first specimen only recently, through the purchase of 
the cactus collection of Mr. J. A. Becker of Baltimore, Md. 
Our plate is from a photograph of this plant. Like A. 
fissuratus it is characteristic in its habit and details and not 
to be confused with any other species. These features the 
plate gives so well as to insure the ready determination of 
a plant compared with it. At present I am able to refer 
to but one other figure, that above cited, which is a very 
good illustration of the plant. The same figure is used | 
in both the places cited. — Plate 33.
