in diameter, profusely armed with stout, straight or recurved spines up to six 
inches long, which were frequently utilized by the Indians for fish hooks and 
needles, etc. 
Most of the species are deeply ribbed and spines of all shapes, sizes 
and of varied colors are exhibited. 
They are all day bloomers, blossoming at the crown, and like to have all 
the sun they possibly can get. The smallest possible pots, with ample drainage 
provided for, and a good light sandy soil, will suit them best. Three to six 
plants planted together into a shallow pan will be still better. 
E. C. corynodes. E. C. nigrispinus.
