Acanthocalycium klinglerianum

A solitary, globular cactus with 13 sharp ribs and long, white, night-opening flowers, described as Echinopsis klingleriana from the lowland Chaco of Chiquitos, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It wants hot, bright summers, a drier and cooler winter, and a free-draining mix, much like other lowland Echinopsis.
