Echinopsis jajoiana var. nigrostoma (Sometimes wrongly spelled “nigristoma”) is best known in cultivation as Lobivia jajoiana var. nigrostoma. Its most noticeable characteristic is the yellow flower with the hymen (or throat ring of the flower) always of a very dark purple-violet to black, thickened at the edge and glossy. Spines are not hooked, needle-like, rather long and not thick. Stems are bluish-green as in the type species.
Habit: It is a small, low growing cactus that grows solitary or sometime in groups.
Stem: Soft, about 5 to 7 cm across, bluish-green, gray-green to dark green, at first spherical, egg-shaped, then elongate as they ages. The crown is slightly depressed and covered with whitish wool
Ribs: 10-14, compressed, running downward and divided into slanting tubercles whose arrangement creates the impression of a wavy line.
Areoles: 3 mm across, with grey-white felt.
Spines: Of different length, usually straight not hooked, directed upward, dark brown to blackish in youth, later grey.
Radial spines: Approximately 10 or less, about 1 cm long.
Central spines: 1 to 3, dark, frequently reddish; the upper spine usually attains a length of 3 cm and is usually not hooked and thickened basally (but sometime the longest of them may reach the length of 4-6 cm).
Root: Thick taproot.
Flowers: Arising from the basal tubercles on the side of the plant, up to 7 cm wide, typically pale to dark golden-yellow, (but also happening on shades of orange or red). All of them have in common that the hymen (or throat ring of the flower) is always of a very dark purple-violet to black, thickened at the edge and glossy. The stamens are purple, the anthers yellow.
All seeds are fresh of this season and obtained from my personal collection.
NOTE: cactus seeds could be sown in any season under control environment, however if you wanna go with nature then best time to sow the seeds is early spring/summer )
