Echinopsis
''Echinopsis'' is a genus of Cactus, cacti native plant, native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. , there are about 20 accepted species, ranging from large and treelike types to small globose cacti. The name derives from ''echinos'' hedgehog or sea urchin, and ''opsis'' appearance, a reference to these plants' dense coverings of spines. They are remarkable for the great size, length of tube, and beauty of their flowers, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems. Taxonomy Studies in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in several formerly separate genera being absorbed into ''Echinopsis''. When very broadly Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed, ''Echinopsis'' Sensu, sensu lato included over 100 species. Some genera have been absorbed and then accepted again. For example, the genus name ''Trichocereus'' was given to a number of columnar cacti in 1909 by Vincenzo Riccobono. The genus was subsumed into ''Echinopsis'' in 1 ...

Soehrensia
''Soehrensia'' is a genus of Cactus, cacti native plant, native to South America. It is Native species, native to northern Argentina, Bolivia, northern Chile, Paraguay and Peru, and has been introduced elsewhere, including Mexico, southern Africa and Spain. Taxonomy The genus was established by Curt Backeberg in 1938. The genus name of ''Soehrensia'' is in honour of Johannes Soehrens (died 1934), who was a Dutch botanist and Professor and Director of the Botanical Garden in Santiago, Santiago de Chile. He was an authority on cacti. Studies in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in several formerly separate genera being absorbed into ''Echinopsis'', including ''Soehrensia'' and ''Helianthocereus'', until it was re-assessed to be a separate genus.Hunt, D.R. 2016: CITES Cactaceae Checklist. 3rd edition.

Cactus
A cactus (: cacti, cactuses, or less commonly, cactus) is a member of the plant family Cactaceae (), a family of the order Caryophyllales comprising about 127 genera with some 1,750 known species. The word ''cactus'' derives, through Latin, from the Ancient Greek word (''káktos''), a name originally used by Theophrastus for a spiny plant whose identity is now not certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes. They are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north, with the exception of ''Rhipsalis baccifera'', which is also found in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti are adapted to live in very dry environments, including the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth. Because of this, cacti show many adaptations to conserve water. For example, almost all cacti are succulents, meaning they have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Unlike many other succulents, the stem is the only part of most cacti ...
