Haageocereus bieblii is a species of Haageocereus from Peru.[1]
Description[edit]
Haageocereus bieblii grows individually with spherical, green shoots up to 5 centimeters in diameter that barely protrude from the ground. The 10 to 25 barely recognizable ribs are divided into wart-like humps. The single central spine, which is 2 to 4 millimeters long and 1 millimeter in diameter, may also be missing. The 3 to 10 comb-shaped marginal spines are white to dark yellow and 1 to 1.5 millimeters long.
The broad, funnel-shaped, white flowers are 6 to 7 centimeters long and 4.5 to 6 centimeters in diameter. Its flower tube is long and slender. The 6 to 10 millimeters long fruits are greenish red to brownish.[2]
