Echinocereus Salmianw (Martel 1886) 



Similar to the Scherii but thicker and distinguished by flowers that are not pink but orange-yellow 

 (Martel) (mandarin color sie!) 



The species cultivated by Mr Guedency under the name Echinocereus Engelmanni is absolutely similar, 

 except for the stalk, to that cultivated under the name Echinocereus Salm Dyckianus. The flowers of the 

 two plants also resemble each other considerably; however Mr. Guedency has commented that the first 

 (Engelmanni) is pinker and more infundibiliform; the second (Salm Dyckianus), is tubulär, les open and 

 of a red-carmine color, quite pure and less pink. 



Therefore the differences ( if they are taken into consideration) appear insignificant. It is probable that 

 they could be the same plant; perhaps the Echinocereus Salm Dychianus Sherii. In any case the name of 

 Echinocereus Engelmanni is absolutely false. ! !
