    Clumping spiny hedgehog cactus from islands near Bahia Magdalena on the Pacific coast of Baja California Sur. May form clumps to near 3 feet wide. 8-10 ribs, 5-9 central spines. A close cousin of Coast Hedgehog (Echinocereus maritimus), a coastal species found to its north, but with different colored flowers (pink instead of yellow). Poorly known.
