Comments

Parodia erinacea (Haworth) N. P. Taylor is one of the dominant species (i.e. more opportunistic and therefore better at adapting to different habitats, resulting in a greater numerical progression of individuals and populations, and higher variability) of the genus Parodia Spegazzini, in the eastern part of its distribution range, consisting essentially of the Pampa biome and its rocky outcrops.
Our article on P. erinacea and its closest relatives is published in "Parodia turbinata (Arechavaleta) Hofacker: a confused taxon" on The Cactus Explorer 6: 26-33 (2012).
