Mexico - Hidalgo.
synonymes: Echinofossulocactus lamellosus 'hastatus', Echinofossulocactus hastatus,
Frost Tolerance: Hardy to -4 C.
Solitary, globose, up to 10 cm. in diameter.
Encounterability: Unusual in collections
This taxon's name hastatus is in confusion. As to E.F.Anderson (The Cactus Family, 2001) and ICSG before 2001, there are seven species in the genus plus three taxon with uncertain status which are S.hastatus, S.rectispinus, S.sulphureus.
As to Nigel Taylor, the only plant with uncertain status is S.sulphureus and the other two are old, unidentifiable names (J.Pilbeam, Ariocarpus etc. 2006). And finally, according to The New Cactus Lexicon (2006), this earlier provisionaly accepted species, Stenocactus hastatus, is an unreferred name, so in uncertain status.
