Ech. ferreirrae. (Gates in litt.) A new 
species discovered on our 1934 Mexican 
trip. This is to be named in honor of 
Senor Enrique Ferreira, Consul of 
Mexico in San Diego, who has greatly 
facilitated our explorations. This species 
somewhat resembles Ech. fendleri. How¬ 
ever it has a peculiarity in common 
with Ech. barthelowanus in that every 
branch forms its own roots. It has a re¬ 
markably large, clear pink flower bear¬ 
ing white spine clusters on the outer 
perianth segments.RC 75c, $1.00 
Ech. mammillatus. This is so rare we 
have found only one cluster. The ribs 
are broken up into separate mammillae 
bearing clusters of short, stiff, gray 
spines. Only a few rooted cuttings this 
year at.$1.00 
Ech. maritimus. (Cereus flaviflorus). This 
species forms large, many headed clus¬ 
ters along the seacoast. The spines vary 
from yellow to gray. The yellow flow¬ 
ers are produced throughout a very long 
season. One of our large clusters was 
in blossom for six months. RC 25c, 35c,

Ech. pacificus. We finally found this elu¬ 
sive beauty on our 1934 trip. Its dense¬ 
ly clustered small heads freely bear 
brown to purplish spines. The flower is 
red.RC 35c, 50c, 75c, $1.00 
Ech. pensilis. All the known plants in the 
U. S. of this pendant beauty came from 
a hard mule trip we made high into the 
mountains of its type locality. Branches 
are peagreen, an inch or more in di¬ 
ameter, almost white spines. Scarlet
