Soehrensia Hahniana
''Soehrensia'' is a large genus of cacti native to South America. It is found in Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and northern Argentina. 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''.

Curt Backeberg
Curt Backeberg (2 August 1894 in Lüneburg, Germany – 14 January 1966) was a German horticulturist especially known for the collection and classification of cacti. Biography He travelled extensively through Central and South America, and published a number of books on cacti, including the six-volume, 4,000-page ''Die Cactaceae'', 1958–1962, and the ''Kakteenlexikon'', first appearing in 1966 and updated posthumously. Although he collected and described many new species and defined a number of new genera, much of his work was based on faulty assumptions about the evolution of cacti and was too focused on geographic distribution; many of his genera have since been reorganized or abandoned. The botanist David Hunt is quoted as saying that he "left a trail of nomenclatural chaos that will probably vex cactus taxonomists for centuries.", p. 98 Nevertheless, his observations regarding the subtle variations among cacti have proven useful for hobbyists, who continue to use many cac ...

Echinopsis Camarguensis - Brooklyn Botanic Garden - Brooklyn, NY - DSC08064
''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), ...

Caryophyllales - Echinopsis Caulescens 1
Caryophyllales ( ) is a diverse and heterogeneous order of flowering plants that includes the cacti, carnations, amaranths, ice plants, beets, and many carnivorous plants. Many members are succulent, having fleshy stems or leaves. The betalain pigments are unique in plants of this order and occur in all its families with the exception of Caryophyllaceae and Molluginaceae. Description The members of Caryophyllales include about 6% of eudicot species. This order is part of the core eudicots. Currently, the Caryophyllales contains 37 families, 749 genera, and 11,620 species The monophyly of the Caryophyllales has been supported by DNA sequences, cytochrome c sequence data and heritable characters such as anther wall development and vessel-elements with simple perforations. Circumscription As with all taxa, the circumscription of Caryophyllales has changed within various classification systems. All systems recognize a core of families with centrospermous ovules and seed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
