Eulychnia taltalensis (F.Ritter) Hoxey

국표에 없다.

HABIT

Erect and freely branching from the base and usually without a trunk. 3-5 m tall.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS

Considered to be closely related to E. iquiquensis. A unique character of E. taltalensis is the distinct arrangement of spines between juvenile and mature flowering stems. Juvenile growth has much stronger spines which in mature stems become much weaker and more flexible, sometimes hair-like. The dark brown felted areoles (without wool or hair) and the dark brown wool on the flower tube and fruit are further differences (Hoxey & Klaassen, 2011).
