. The Cactaceae : descriptions and illustrations of plants of the cactus family. 3Q THE CACTACEAE. Pfeiffer (Abbild. Beschr. Cact. 2: pi. 10), very likely from the type collection. These illustrations are not very good, especially as to the areoles. In 1845 it was again described and illustrated, this time in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, plate 4190, from a specimen sent by a Mr. Staines from San Luis Potosi. This is from the region of Galeotti's type. We refer here Lloyd's No. 4 from Zacatecas. Cereus pectinatus laevior Salm-Dyck (Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1849. 43. 1850; Echinocereus pectinatus laevi

Dyck. 1849. 43. 1850; Echinocereus pectinatus laevior, Monatsschr. Kakteenk. Index 56. 1912) is only a name to be referred here. Echinocereus pectinatus cristatus is an abnormal form of no taxonomic importance. A very unusual illustration of it appeared in Floralia 42: 372. This variety may or may not belong to this species. Echinopsis pectinata laevior Monville (Forster, Handb. Cact. 365. 1846) belongs here. Illustrations: Curtis's Bot. Mag. 71: pi. 4190; Lemaire, Icon. Cact.* pi. 14 or 15; Loudon, Encycl.
