Echinocereus fendleri is a species of cactus known by the common names pinkflower hedgehog cactus and Fendler's hedgehog cactus. It is named in honor of Augustus Fendler.
It grows in deserts and woodlands in the Southwestern United States and Northeastern Mexico. It is most common in New Mexico.
The taxonomy of the species is uncertain, with authors recognizing up to eight varieties.
Description
Echinocereus fendleri grows solitary with an erect oval or cylindrical stem, sometimes forming a clump of several spreading stem branches. The stem may reach 7.5 to 30 cm (3.0 to 11.8 in) in maximum height and 3.8 to 6.2 cm (1.5 to 2.4 in) in diameter. They have eight to ten non-tuberculated ribs. There are up to 16 spines per areole, generally in shades of brown and white, or white with a brown stripe. The single dark central spine, which may be absent, is straight or slightly curved and lightens with age, measuring 1.2 to 3.8 cm (0.47 to 1.50 in) long. The five to nine light-colored, spreading, straight marginal spines are 0.9 to 1.2 cm (0.35 to 0.47 in) long.
The showy flower is most any shade of pink, from nearly white to deep maroon. It can be 11 cm (4.3 in) long and wide, each tepal measuring up to 7 cm (2.8 in) long. The fruit is spherical, red and a few centimeters long.
The flesh of the plant is edible, and Native American groups consumed the stems and fruits.
