Echinocereus rebmanii

Echinocereus rebmanii is a rarely recorded hedgehog cactus with no wild records in GBIF; its name honours a Baja California botanist, suggesting an origin in northwestern Mexico. Grow it like other desert Echinocereus: full sun, very gritty soil, and a cool, dry winter rest to bring on flowers.
