Echinopsis densispina, is a species of Echinopsis found in Argentina.^[2]

Description[edit]

Echinopsis densispina grows solitary. The egg-shaped, grey-green to dark green shoots reach heights of growth of up to 8 centimeters with a diameter of 5.5 centimetres with around 17 notched ribs divided into tubercles. The yellowish-white areoles located on them are sometimes sunken and are up to 0.5 centimeters apart. The four to seven central spines are light to dark brown with darker tips. The central spines are straight to slightly curved and thickened at their base and 1.5 to 2 centimeters long or much shorter and inconspicuous. The radial spines are 16 to 22 whitish, bristle-like, flexible and 0.6 to 0.8 centimeters long. The short and broad, funnel-shaped, yellow to orange flowers are up to 8.5 centimeters long^[3]
