Description

Echinopsis clavatus grows shrubby, branches from the base and is more or less prostrate and creeping. The club-shaped, dark green shoots are 1 to 2 meters long and have a diameter of 7 to 15 centimeters with seven to ten blunt ribs that are notched. The round areoles are densely covered with orange-brown wool and are 1.5 to 2.2 centimeters apart. Dark brown, needle-like, mostly straight spiness emerge from them. The usually single, very strong central spine is 2 to 9 centimeters long and four to eight slightly spread out marginal spines are 0.5 to 3 centimeters long. The funnel-shaped, white flowers reach a length of up to 18 centimeters.[2]

Distribution

Echinopsis clavatus is widespread in the Bolivian department of La Paz at altitudes of 2500 to 3000 meters.
