Echinopsis Lageniformis (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Echinopsis lageniformis is a fast-growing columnar cactus from the high deserts of Bolivia. Among the indigenous populations of Bolivia, it is sometimes called achuma or wachuma, although these names are also applied to related species such as Echinopsis pachanoi which are also used for their psychedelic effects. The plant is a light green colour and usually has 4 to 8 ribs. It can grow 2-5 m tall with stems of up to 15-20 cm in diameter. Spines can range in colouration from honey-coloured to brown, and are located on the nodes in groups of up to 4. These spines can grow up to 6-7 cm in length and in fully grown plants are spaced evenly on the ribs, 2.5 to 3 cm apart.
