cylindrical, l6in. high, 4in. in diameter, with from eight to 
thirteen ribs, disposed more or less spirally; spine tufts

and Guatemala. Probably not yet cultivated in England. See 
Fig. 354. Syns. E. latispinus (of gardens), Melocactus latispinus.

together on old plants. Stem 6in. high; ribs about twenty ; 
spines stout, strong, the longest 3in. long, hooked, projecting out- 
wards, the shorter ones spreading and interlacing so as to form a 
sort of spiny network all round the stem. Colorado, 1877.

red or brown, very short. Stem narrowly ribbed, compressed,

stout, cylindrical, lft. high, 8in. in diameter, with about a 
dozen deep, spiral ridges; spines rigid, broad, lin. or more in 
length, spreading and interlacing all round the stem. Mexico. 
This will thrive in a house from which frost is excluded, but it
