Figure 169 is copied from the first illustration above cited; figure 170 is from a photograph contributed by Dr. Spegazzini, showing his understanding of this species. This may be different from the plant shown by figure 169, but we know the species only from descriptions and the illustrations cited above. We are unable to determine which of the figures is the more nearly Fig. 170.—Gymnocalycium 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.
