THE IUCN RED LIST OF THREATENED SPECIES™ Taxonomy Kingdom Phylum Class Order Family Plantae Tracheophyta Magnoliopsida Caryophyllales Cactaceae Taxon Name: Ferocactus haematacanthus (Monv. ex Salm-Dyck) Bravo ex Backeb. & F.M.Knuth Synonym(s): • Echinocactus electracanthus variety haematacanthus Monv. ex Salm-Dyck Taxonomic Source(s): Hunt, D., Taylor, N. and Charles, G. (compilers and editors). 2006. The New Cactus Lexicon. dh Books, Milborne Port, UK. Assessment Information Red List Category & Criteria: Endangered B1ab(iii,v) ver 3.1 Year Published: 2013 Date Assessed: April 28, 2009 Justification: This species has a restricted extent of occurrence (EOO approximately 4,000 km2), its population is severely fragmented and it is suffering a continuing decline due to land use change for agriculture. Hence it is listed as Endangered under Criterion B1. The species is large and potentially long lived, and there are about ten subpopulations with a total population of less than 2,500 mature individuals (potentially substantially less) and almost certainly meets the criteria for Endangered under Criterion C. Geographic Range Range Description: This species is endemic to the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Valley, Mexico, and is distributed only in the States of Puebla and Veracruz (Arias et al. 1997; Hunt et al. 2006), at elevations of 1,800 - 2,400 m asl. Country Occurrence: Native: Mexico (Puebla, Veracruz) © The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Ferocactus haematacanthus – published in 2013. 1 http://dx.doi.org/10.2305/IUCN.UK.2013-1.RLTS.T152800A679954.en Population The species is not abundant and occurs at low densities at the known localities. There are no studies on the population trends, however, a decline can be inferred from field observations; many individuals have disappeared from known subpopulations. Current Population Trend: Decreasing Habitat and Ecology (see Appendix for additional information) The species occurs in xerophyllous scrub and oak chaparral on calcareous soils. It flowers between March and May and produces fruits between July and November (Arias et al. 1987). Systems: Terrestrial Use and Trade There is no known use or trade of the species. Threats (see Appendix for additional information) The major threat is habitat fragmentation as a result of land conversion to agriculture. Conservation Actions (see Appendix for additional information) The species occurs within the Tehuacán-Cuicatlán Biosphere Reserve (Méndez-Larios et al. 2006). This species is listed in the Mexican list of species at risk of extinction, NOM-SEMARNAT-059-2010 as in need of special protection (Pr; SEMARNAT 20010). The species is propagated locally in a government certified nursery, and also is successfully grown in ex-situ conservation programs in the EU (Stoie 2007).

    Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final SPECIES STATUS ASSESSMENT REPORT FOR TOBUSCH FISHHOOK CACTUS (SCLEROCACTUS BREVIHAMATUS SSP. TOBUSCHII (W.T. MARSHALL) N.P. TAYLOR) February, 2017 Southwest Region U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Albuquerque, NM Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final Prepared by Chris Best, Austin Ecological Services Field Office, Suggested citation: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. 2017. Species status assessment of Tobusch Fishhook Cactus (Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii (W.T. Marshall) N.P. Taylor). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southwest Region, Albuquerque, New Mexico. 65 pp. + 2 appendices. i Tobusch Fishhook Cactus Species Status Assessment - Final EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Tobusch fishhook cactus is a small cactus, with curved “fishhook” spines, that is endemic to the Edwards Plateau of Texas. It was federally listed as endangered on November 7, 1979 (44 FR 64736) as Ancistrocactus tobuschii. At that time, fewer than 200 individuals had been documented from 4 sites. Tobusch fishhook cactus is now confirmed in 8 central Texas counties: Bandera, Edwards, Kerr, Kimble, Kinney, Real, Uvalde, and Val Verde. In recent years, over 4,000 individuals have been documented in surveys and monitoring plots. Recent phylogenetic evidence supports classifying Tobusch fishhook cactus as Sclerocactus brevihamatus ssp. tobuschii. It is distinguished morphologically from its closest relative, S. brevihamatus ssp. brevihamatus, on the basis of yellow versus pink- or brown-tinged flowers, fewer radial spines, and fewer ribs. Additionally, subspecies tobuschii is endemic to limestone outcrops of the Edwards Plateau, while subspecies brevihamatus occurs in alluvial soils in the Tamaulipan Shrublands and Chihuahuan Desert. A recent investigation found genetic divergence between the two subspecies, although they may interact genetically in a narrow area where their ranges overlap.

  • THE COAST BARREL CACTUS by Sue Haffner
    THE COAST BARREL CACTUS By Sue Haffner Photograph from calflora.net The coast barrel cactus, Ferocactus viridescens, grows in what would seem to be a most unusual place for a cactus—right on the coast, from around Del Mar in San Diego County down into northern Baja California. Its habitat comprises perhaps a hundred miles in length and thirty miles inland. Needless to say, this area is home to several million Southern California residents. Despite that, it is not as well known as its desert counterparts. This is due to its small stature. Less than a foot and a half tall, it is often hidden by taller shrubs. It becomes easier to spot when its red and yellow buds open to reveal bright yellow flowers. This plant was discussed on the Cacti_etc online list awhile back. Bob Mitchell, from the San Diego area, wrote: “The thing to remember about it is—that it is a winter grower. So, if you have the climate or the cultural conditions now [Sept.] is the perfect time to go to work on it. Un-•‐pot it, clean it as necessary, examine the roots and remove any dead or diseased ones, and re-pot it in a mix of up to 2/3 pumice and 1/3 sandy loam. In habitat, the rains start around Thanksgiving and continue off and on until March or so. The days get into the 70’s or 80’s, and the nights can drop into the high 30’s. If you can’t provide these conditions, you’ll see why F.

  • Ferocactus Echinocactus 18Aug2013
    The Weekly Plant 18 August 2013 Scientiic/Common names: Ferocactus wislizeni1/Arizona barrel cactus, ishhook barrel, compass barrel Echinocactus grusonii1/golden barrel cactus, golden ball, mother-in-law’s cushion TAV location: Arizona barrel - several plants are in the quadrangle between the gym/swimming pool and the Community Center. Golden barrel - small specimens in landscapes around the Village. Large, lowering specimens can be seen at B&B Cactus on Speedway. Ferocactus wislizeni, left, Discussion: Echinocactus grusonii, right. I’ve been hesitant to write about both barrels and saguaros. After all, what can I say that you haven’t read already? But, maybe you haven’t heard the botanical and taxonomic details. So, this week I’ll discuss two common barrel cactus. If you look at the scientiic name of different cactus2, you will see that some include the word “cactus” (like this week’s plants) or the word “cereus” (like the hedgehog cactus, Echinocereus fasciculatus, Weekly Plant 8 Apr2012). This is a clue about the plant’s lowering habit (if those words aren’t in the name, you have no clues about lowering). The “cactus” lower on the newer growth, near the tip of the plant (see photos above). The “cereus” lower on older growth - the lowers appear on the sides of the plant. Saguaro and hedgehog cactus are in this group. What more can we learn about this week’s plants - Ferocactus and Echinocactus? “Fero” is from the Latin ferus, meaning ierce or wild, for those wicked spines. “Echino” is from the Greek word for the spiny hedgehog, Echinocactus so named because of those wicked spines (that didn’t help much).
