Echinocereus cacti are a genus within the succulent plants.
Echinocereus belongs to the cactus family, genus Echinocereus, with about 75 species in the genus. The genus name Echinocereus comes from the Greek word εχινο? (Echinos), meaning hedgehog, and cereus derives from the Latin word for candle (in modern English, cereus already means cactus). The two words describe its characteristics: many spines, upright like candles (some are actually spherical). Abroad it is also called hedgehog cactus, and the name hedgehog cactus is fairly easy to understand. More incredibly, it is also often called shrimp cactus, and many cultivar names in this genus are given the shrimp label, such as golden chestnut shrimp, purple emerald shrimp, beautiful peach shrimp, etc. The shrimp naming originates from Japan, and why does Japan call this genus shrimp? Perhaps it is due to a homophonic relationship in Japanese pronunciation?
