Echinofossulocactus obvallatus (De Candolle) Lawrence in Loudon, Card. Mag. 17: 317. 1841. Echinocactus obvallatus De Can- dolle, Prodr. 3: 462. 1828. Obovoid to globose, depressed at apex; ribs about 25, rather thin and undulate; spines about 8, 4 spines sub- ulate, ascending or spreading, 4 spines short, perhaps not one-fourth the length of the longer ones; flowers central, very large; perianth-segments linear-oblong. Type locality: Mexico. Distribution: Hidalgo, Mexico. This species is based on Mocifio and Sesse's illustration of Cactus obvallatus. We have been unable to refer here, with any degree of approximation, any Mexican material we have seen. Pfeiffer's plate 22 (Abbild. Beschr. Cact. 2:), originally referred here, must be quite distinct, for it has very differently shaped flowers, spines, and ribs. The Index Kewensis refers this illustration to Echinocactus lancifer of which it seems to be the type. Echinocactus obvallatus spinosior of Lemaire (Salm-Dyck, Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1849. 30. 1850) and also of Monville (Salm-Dyck, Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1844. 20. 1845) as well as va- riety pluricostatus Monville (Salm-Dyck, Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1844. 20. 1845) are all names without description. Echinocactus coptonogo
