ECHINOCACTUS JOHNSONII Engelm.
Johnson's hedghog cactus was named
for J. E Johnson, an early Mormon
naturalist, who discovered it about S.
George in southern Utah. It is a
rare and handsome plant, 4 to 7 inches
high, oval, 3 to 5 inches in diameter,
densely covered with stout
reddish-gray spines— turning deep red when
wet The flower is about 2% inches
broad, of a rose purple normally, but
some plants which opened their flowers
while packed in a box away from the
light leave light yellowish-green petals
marked with deep maroon at base
Anthers pale primrose yellow;
fiila-ments V2 inch lond, the inner ones
white, outer ones reddish Growing in
out-of-the-way desert places in

The Hermit cactus, so-called because
It is rare to find more than one in a
place, is a strikingly beautiful cactus
which I have sen only on the Mohave
desert in its wild state The largest
plant I have seen is 18 inches high and
4 inches in diameter; each tubercle
bears three to seven hooked, round,
brownish-pink spines, with which are
interspersed fewer ivory white spines,
not hooked, very pleasing in contrast
Flower over 2 inches long, of equal
width, petals bright magenta, green at
anthers white They were once
cata-logued at $15 apiece, and are still rare
long surviving transplanting from
