Soehrensia grandisWith all of the changes in cactus taxonomy, it is sometimes hard to know what to call plants. This cactus from Argentina was first named as Soehrensia grandis, then moved into Trichocereus, then lumped into Echinopsis, then put into Lobivia. It is allied to the other cacti originally included in Soehrensia, and is intermediate between the yellow-flowered Lobivia (or Soehrensia) formosa and the red-flowered Lobivia (or Soehrensia) bruchii. These stout cacti get much larger than other plants placed in Lobivia, and might be thought of as South American barrel cacti.-Brian -- source link
