| Notice the L. williamsii var. echinata growing behind and to the left of a large Ferocactus hamatacanthus? |
This plant is sometimes confused with Sclerocactus (Glandulicactus) uncinatus especially when small.
Compare the uncinatus page to some of the image on this page.
Once you feel comfortable telling them apart, try identifying these images.
