Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Echinocereus, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: 115 in-range records, none placed to within 10 km.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.
Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

Map marker24.685, -112.191 · in the densest population, 115 records (100% of those in range)
Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 115 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 1 openly licensed one, which alone would put the marker 10 km away. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 115 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.
The map markerthe map marker: the openly licensed record nearest the middle of the densest 1° population of the 115 in-range records; it decides nothing.
