description
Echinopsis lateritia always grows individually with spherical to short cylindrical glaucoma- green shoots , which reach heights of up to 60 centimeters with a diameter of 10 to 12 centimeters. There are 18 sharp-edged, straight or slightly spiral-shaped ribs that are notched. The circular yellowish or gray areoles on it are sunk into the notches and are 2 to 3 centimeters apart. The two to three brownish central spines , rarely only a single one, are curved and thickened at their base. They have a length of up to 1.5 centimeters (rarely up to 3 centimeters). The 15 to 17 brownish radial spines are slightly curved towards the shoot and up to 1 centimeter (rarely up to 1.5 centimeters) long.
The funnel-shaped brick-red to carmine-red flowers open during the day. They become 4 to 5 inches long. The spherical, semi-dry fruits tear open.
