Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Apr 19, 2024 2:27 PM concerning plant:
Spiny South American ball cactus with yellow flowers.
This plant, formerly known as Parodia (Notocactus) schlosseri (after the guy who collected it in Uruguay, Hugo Schlosser), was apparently described as Echinocactus erubescens a few decades before that point, so the older name takes priority. According to Hunt it is apparently not a species but a hybrid of P. (N.) mammulosa with another Parodia. It belongs with a few plants that are closely related to P. (N.) scopa.
