While this plant shows considerable variation in its spines, we do not believe it possibleto separate the species into varieties as Schumann has done. Echinocactus jeneschianus Pfeiffer (Allg.

Hort. 35: 173. 1864) is only mentioned, butLemaire later (Cact. 61. 1868) states that it isbased on Cereus chiloensis, which definitely placesit here. Cereus chilensis funkianus (Schumann, Ge-samtb. Kakteen 61. 1897) has never been formallypublished. Cereus polymorphic (published as a synonymof Opuntia polymorpha in Forster, Handb. 1846), referred here by Schumann, shoulddoubtless go elsewhere, for it is said to come fromMendoza, Argentina. It may be a form ofOpuntia
