Type locality: Yura, near Arequipa, Peru. Distribution: In the mountains of southern Peru, altitude 2,000 to 3,300 meters. This species is one of the three or four common cacti found on the hills and in the valleys both above and below Arequipa, and, while not the largest, is often the most abundant and conspicuous. Dr. Rose studied this plant in Peru in 1914, collecting living and herbarium specimens, including the very long spines described above (Nos. 18780, 18965). Figure 99 is from a photograph taken near Arequipa, Peru, by T. A. Corry in 1917; figure 101 represents a flower collected by Dr. Rose near the same place in Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Carnegie Institution of Washington.
