bradwinckelmann's Identifications

Only about 4" tall with the red "peppers". This was a solitary specimen alongside the trail. I saw no other cacti that looked similar to this one. The white spines offer a fuzzy look. The fruit appear like small, red Chile's. One observer iof the photo ndicated the fruit were sweet.
