In the 2009 published work of RISCHER & BRECKWOLDT Ecf. 22 (1): 17 - 26 is introduced due to the different ploidy level of species rank for Echinocereus occidentalis. Newer investigations on site, as well as the evaluation of the existing herbarium sheets of various locations, between Cuatrocienegas de Carranza, Viesca, Torreon in Coahuila compared to the habitats west of Bermejillo and Mapimi, La Cuesta, Pedricena, Rodeo, Nazas and Minas Navidad in Durango revealed significant differences enabled a re-evaluation of these former sites. At the type locality are subsp. breckwoldtiorum and stramineus (Engelmann) F. Sencke ex. J. N. Haage in close proximity, separated only by their different substrates. The subspecies breckwoldtiorum occur standing on the rocks there, while stramineus grows on the surrounding sand - gravel substrate. In the southern area of distribution of subsp. breckwoldtiorum are encountered hybrids with E. enneacanthus subsp. enneacanthus Engelmann.

BRECKENRIDGE 339, Mexico, Coahuila, western Mapimi; SRSC sheet No.: o.Nr. contents Echinocereus stramineus (G. Engelmann) F. Sencke ex J.N. Haage In JOHANN NICOLAUS HAAGE in the price directory on Cactaceae and succulents (22, 1860) is to be read for the first time about Echinocereus conglomeratus Förster, however, without descriptive data. Unfortunately, the literature where FöRSTER acquired the name, is unknown. In 1870 is in SEITZ, in his Catalogus cactearum cultarum (10, 1870), the same reading. Ruempler writes in FÖRSTER’s „Handbuch für Kakteenkunde (797, 1885)“ under E. stramineus as synonym „Cereus conglomeratus Först.?“. In the Gardenflora (465, 1890) is in a "travelogue of Cacteensammlers in Mexico" by ALBERT MATHSSON to read about the location of this taxon. Unfortunately, these references were all without descriptive data, so these are all nomen nudum. First descriptive data are for SCHUMANN in the overall description of the cacti (278, 1899) to find, they read as follows: “30. Echinocereus conglomeratus Förster Caespitosus caulibus pro rata elatis erectis laete viridibus: costis 12 - 13 sinuatis; aculeis radialibus 9 - 10, centralibus 1 - 4 albis fere vitreis, basi flaridis; floribus haud visis probabiliter coccineo-violaceis. Körper säulenförmig, durch Sprossung aus dem Grunde rasenförmig, aufrecht, säulenförmig, oben etwas verjüngt, am Scheitel höckerig, nicht eingesenkt: Höcker mit schneeweißem Woll-filz bekleidet, bis 30 cm hoch und 5 cm im Durchmesser, hellgrün. Rippen 12 - 13, durch oben sehr enge, auch unten scharfe Furchen geschieden, ziemlich scharf, bis 1 cm hoch, deutlich gebuchtet. Areolen 8 - 10 mm voneinander entfernt, kreisrund, etwa 2 mm im Durchmesser, mit schneeweißem Woll-filz bekleidet, der aber sehr schnell schwindet. Randstacheln 9 - 10, glasartig, spreizend, das untere Paar am längsten, bis 1,6 cm lang, nach dem Verschwinden des Wollfilzes am Grunde gelb. Mittelstacheln 1 - 4, der untere gerade vorgetreckt, bis 4 cm lang und darüber, etwas stärker, sonst jenen ähnlich. Die Blüte ist mir nicht bekannt.“ Echinocereus conglomeratus Först. in Hort.cat., in MATHSSON in Gartenflora XXXIX. 465 (1890) (conglomeratus [in Latin] = heaped together). Geographical distribution: In Mexico, in the State of Nuevo Leon, south of Monterrey, in quantities, however, higher in the mountains, at Rinconada covering the slopes. BERGER has then in his "A systematic revision of the genus Cereus (81, 1905)" recombined it to Cereus conglomeratus. BRITTON & ROSE supplement in their work "Cactaceae Vol .: 3: 39-40 (1922) the following data to the A new subspecies of Echinocereus occidentalis in Coahuila 14 - XEROPHILIA • Special Issue No. 7 .2 - October 2015 | ISSN 2285-3987 contents first description: “flowers 6 to 7 cm long, broad and open, purplish; perianth-segments broad, 2 cm long; spines on ovary and flower long, white, more or less curved; fruit globular, 3 cm in diameter, somewhat acid, edible; seeds numerous. Distribution: Mountains in the states of Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Zacatecas, Mexico. This species has usually been confused with E. stramineus but is smaller, more open flowers, and it has a more southern range.” BRAVO-HOLLIS keeps E. conglomeratus 1937 als Taxon very close to E. stramineus but differs by the size and the distribution area of flowers. In her key leads at conglomeratus "Flores campanuladas (bell-shaped)" and stramineus "infundibuliformes (funnel-shaped)" on. In BACKEBERG nothing new can be found. Strange it is then in 1974, when, into two independent works by L. BENSON in Cact. Succ. J. Amer. 46: 80 (March-April) and BRAVO-HOLLIS in Cact. Suc. Mex. 19: 47 (April-June), conglomeratus is recombined in the former to E. enneacanthus Engelmann var. conglomeratus (Förster) Benson and in BRAVO- HOLLIS to E. stramineus Engelmann var conglomeratus. TAYLOR writes 1985, 89 ....in the south-eastern part of its range it is represented by a smaller-flowered form, previously distinguished as E. conglomeratus Schumann, but scarcely even worthy of varietal status. " BRAVO-HOLLIS & H. SANCHEZ-MEJORADA retains the status of 1974. In their key it differs as follows: -A. Espinas que ocultan por completo el tallo; las radiales 7 a 14, las centrales 2 a 5………………….49a. var. stramineus -AA. Espinas que no ocultan completamente el tallo; las radiales 9 a 10, las centrales 1 a 4………..49b. var. conglomeratus Because of the small flower, smaller fruit, the higher rib number and its separated distribution area, we are able to establish the opinion conglomeratus as a new subspecies of stramineus. We can confirm the statement of TAYLOR (1985), that there is a small flowering stramineus form at Rinconada and Grutas Garcia. In TAYLOR's Mexico trip in July 1986, he has visited the Herbarium of MEXU and named a herbarium sheet, collected by HELIA BRAVO-HOLLIS at Grutas Garcia, as holotype of E. stramineus var. orientalis var. nov. This is, because no description and Latin diagnosis has been published, a nomen nudum. Another very interesting form that belongs here, is the relatively little spined form of Huachichil. This has been viewed as a form of Echinocereus parkeri Taylor. Echinocereus stramineus (G. Engelmann) F. Sencke ex J.N.
