Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Curt Backeberg in Blätt. Kakteenf. vol.5 (6) on page 7 in 1938. The genus name of ''Soehrensia'' is in honour of Johannes Soehrens (he died 1934), who was a Dutch botanist and Professor and Director of the Botanical Garden in 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''.

Echinopsis Angelesiae - Botanischer Garten, Dresden, Germany - DSC08882
''Echinopsis'' is a large genus of cacti native to South America, sometimes known as hedgehog cactus, sea-urchin cactus or Easter lily cactus. One small species, ''E. chamaecereus'', is known as the peanut cactus. The 128 species range 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, which, borne upon generally small and dumpy stems, appear much larger and more attractive than would be expected. Taxonomy Studies in the 1970s and 1980s resulted in several formerly separate genera being absorbed into ''Echinopsis'': Some have proposed merging '' Rebutia'' as well. Like several other taxonomic changes in Cactaceae, this one has not been universally accepted. Amateur and professional growers still use names like ''Echinopsis'' (in the older sense), ...
