description

Echinopsis boyuibensis grows individually. The depressed spherical to spherical, fresh green shoots reach a diameter of 5 to 12 centimeters. There are ten to twelve (rarely up to 13) very sharp-edged ribs that are hardly notched. The areoles on it are 1 to 2 centimeters apart. Central spines are usually not developed. Sometimes, however, there is a single, strongly curved central spine that is usually slightly hooked at the tip and is 2 to 4 centimeters long. The two to six radial spines are curved and 0.7 to 2 inches long. The longest of them has a somewhat hooked tip.

The tubular, funnel-shaped flowers appear on the shoot shoulder and open at night. They are up to eight inches long. The somewhat elongated fruits are somewhat narrowed at both ends.
