Echinocereus viereckii subsp. morricalii

Like other forms of Echinocereus viereckii, suspecies morricalii has large magenta flowers, but its ribs are continuous instead of having little troughs between the areoles as with the typical subspecies. The other very evident trait seen in the photo is that this plant is almost spineless, but while this is true of some specimens of subspecies morricalii, there are others with conspicuous spines. From the state of Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico.

Echinocereus pentalophus subsp. leonensis

The flowers of Echinocereus pentalophus subsp, leonensis are very similar to those of E. pentalophus subsp. pentalophus, but the plant itself is quite different-looking. While subsp. pentalophus has an elongated sprawling few-ribbed stem, often with a yellow-green color, the subsp. leonensis has much shorter and spinier stems with more ribs and a deeper green color. The name “leonensis” refers to Nuevo Leon, and this plant occurs there, as well as in the states of San Luis Potosi and Coahuila. It certainly knows how to put on a show when it flowers!
