Xerophyte

Description

This Japanese cultivar has a very peculiar rib shape. The woolly areoles on the ribs have a felty line between them so it seems like the areoles are connected with each other. It is thought that this interesting cultivar is a chimaeric plant composed of two genetically different strata of cells. This meristematic mutation originated probably from a normal Echinopsis. The flowers like most other Echinopsis hybrid are long trumpet shaped white and scented. This plant can grow quite fast.
