Cochemiea estebanensis is a species of Cochemiea found in Mexico.^[1]

Description

Cochemiea estebanensis grows either solitary or in groups. Its grey-green, cylindrical shoots, with rounded apexes, can reach up to 50 cm (20 in) in height and 6 to 10 cm (2.4 to 3.9 in) in diameter. The firm, pyramidal warts lack milky juice. The axillae are wool-covered with 5 to 8 bristles, each up to 0.8 cm (0.31 in) long. There is one central spine, brown with a dark tip, straight or hooked, measuring between 0.4 and 1.5 cm (0.16 and 0.59 in) long. The plant has 15 to 22 radial spines that are needle-like, straight, and range in color from brownish to gold or white, each up to 1 cm (0.39 in) long.

The funnel- or bell-shaped flowers are white, up to 2 cm (0.79 in) long, and 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in diameter. The red fruits contain black seeds.^[2]

Distribution

Cochemiea estebanensis is found in the Mexican state of Baja California, specifically on Isla San Esteban and the San Lorenzo Archipelago.^{[citation needed]}

Taxonomy
