Cultivars (1):
Description: Echinopsis scheeriSN|10595]]SN|10601]] (Lobivia scheeriSN|10600]]SN|10600]]), is a controversial cactus species generally included within (as a synonym of) {{SN'>10595' alt='10595'>Echinopsis pentlandii#SN#10595'>{{[[Echinopsis pentlandiiSN' style='border:none;'>|SN|10595]]}}, suggesting that there is not really a fundamental difference between the two. The dark greyish-green or tan body with a long carrot like root, thin brownish or greyish spines, and long pale orange-red flowers helps distinguish this tree from other related species.
Stem: Single or forming shoots, ellipsoidal, 5-6(-10) cm thick dark greyish-green, dark blue-green or tan.
Ribs: 10-20 (or more), acute, separated by deep vertical grooves, crenate ( notched),obliquely interrupted at the areola.
Spines: Variable, all radial or sometime with one central.
Radial spines: 6, stronger and 4-5 thinner, acicular, slightly bent inward, about 26 mm long, at first dark purple and subsequently brownish or grey.
Central spines: 0-1, acicular to subulate somewhat recurved 3-9 cm long or less in young specimens.
Notes: Rumpler writes (1885): Sepaloid perianth segments elongated-linear, dark green, petaloid perianth segments numerous, pointed-lanceolate, lilac in the outside, light-cinnabar-red (or or also orange and yellow) with a darker mid-rib. W. Rausch 1992 (KuaS, 1992, H. 9, S. 9, S. 198-201): named Lobivia pampanaSN|34274]]SN|34274]] as Lobivia scheeriSN|10600]]SN|10600]] because this later name would be older.
