Labouret (Monogr. Cact. 228, 229. 1853) mentioned three varieties of this species as 

 follows: spinosior Haage, cristatus Monville, and minor Monville. 



Echinocactus hypocrateriformis spinosior Haage probably should be referred here. 



vSpegazzini (Anal. Mus. Nac. Buenos Aires III. 4: 496. 1905) referred the species pam- 

 peanus and submammulosus as varieties of this species.
