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 cm (2.8 to 5.9 in) 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 cm (0.59 to 0.87 in) apart. Dark brown, needle-like, mostly straight spines emerge from them. The usually single, very strong central spine is 2 to 9 cm (0.79 to 3.54 in) long and four to eight slightly spread out radial spines are 0.5 to 3 cm (0.20 to 1.18 in) long. The funnel-shaped, white flowers reach a length of up to 18 cm (7.1 in).
Range & habitat
Echinopsis clavatus is widespread in the Bolivian department of La Paz at altitudes of 2500 to 3000 meters.
