But just in case, photos...
Thank you, Stefan. Except for the height of the barrel, it looks like texensis. The local population here has a lower profile than the one in the photo - by more than half. The configuration of the spines is a bit variable in the local population, so what I see in the photo wouldn't exclude that from being a texensis though most of the local population have a flatter array for the spines.
The article says for texensis it has changed from Echinocactus to homalocephala. That, so far, is not in the database here at NGA. Do you know what source the posters may be referencing for the change? I seem to recall reading that a name change was in the works several years ago, but never saw where it actually happened.
Waaah! I don't want to have learn another new name. It's hard for an oldtimer
