Type locality: Along the coast of Chile from Taltal to Cobre. Distribution: Western Chile. This species is similar to Copiapoa marginata but has more ribs and very different Fig. 98.—Copiapoa cinerea. Fig. 99.—Copiapoa marginata. We have seen no living specimens of this species, but Dr. Rose obtained a small piece of the type from the Philippi Herbarium. This agrees very well with Schumann's illustra- tion cited below. Illustrations: Schumann, Gesamtb. Kakteen Nachtr. f. 15; Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 11: 7, as Echinocactus cinereus. Figure 98 is copied from the first illustration above cited. 2.
