Solitary, globular to oblong, up to 60 cm. high; ribs usually 13, sometimes 17, strongly tuberclecL 2 to 3 cm. high; areoles large, 1 to 3 cm. apart; radial spines about 12, acicular, terete, 5 to 7 cm. long; central spines 4, elongated, angled, sometimes 15 cm. long, one of them hooked at apex; flowers large, 7 to 8 cm. long, yellow, in some forms said to be scarlet within; fruit oblong, 2 to 5 cm. long, fleshy, edible, dark brown to drab-colored (not red); seeds pitted. Type locality: Mexico. Distribution: Southern Texas, New Mexico, and northern Mexico. This species develops elongated glands, 2 to 4 mm. long, in the areoles between the flower and the spines, as do some of the others; these at first are soft, but in age become hard and spine-like. The fruit of this species is unlike that of most other species of the genus: the skin is thin and the flesh juicy and edible. Echinocactus insignis Haage jr. (Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 5: 76. 1905), a name only, was referred by Schumann as a synonym of E. longihamaius. The following names (not described) are usually referred to this species or one of. 1J; vJ§ n m Ssii ^?22|s mm' / Ife ' Rr t ±hk.
