Ferocactus peninsulae (Weber). Echinocactus peninsulae Weber, Bull. Mus. Hist. Nat. Paris 1: 320. 1895. Simple, erect, meters high, clavate to cylindric; ribs 12 to 20, prominent; areoles 4 cm. apart or even less in old plants; spines red with yellow tips; radial spines 11, spreading, straight, terete, more or less annulate, the lower ones stouter and more colored; central spines 4. Type locality: Lower California, but no definite locality cited. Distribution: Southern Lower California. Engelmann and Weber seemed to have been in agreement regarding this species being new, but Engelmann's name (Contr. U. S. Nat. Herb. 3: 361. 1896) was based on Gabb's specimen (No. 11), now preserved in the Missouri Botanical Garden, while Weber's name is based on Diguet's plant. The plants of these two collections may or may not be con- specific. We have seen only Engelmann's specimen which we have used in making our illustration. In December 1920, Dr. William S. W. Kew sent us fruit and a small living plant from near Boca de Guadalupe on the west coast of Lower California which we believe belongs here. His plant is less than 10 cm. high with 8 broad ribs; young areoles brown-felted, circular; radial spines spreading, brownish or white; central spines 4, grayish br
