genusgenusSpherical to columnar-shaped cacti known for their spectacular, often fragrant flowers that bloom at night and can be larger than the plant itself. These resilient plants feature distinctive ribs and spines arranged in geometric patterns across their surface.
Etymology
The name comes from the Greek 'echinos' meaning 'hedgehog' and 'opsis' meaning 'appearance,' referring to the spiny, rounded shape of many species in this genus.
