Echinocereus triglochidiatus is a species of hedgehog cactus commonly known as claret cup cactus, Mojave mound cactus, or kingcup cactus. Echinocerens is from the Greek echinos, meaning a hedgehog, and cereus meaning a wax taper. Triglochidialus means "three barbed bristles" and refers to the straight spines arranged in clusters of three. (It is the official state cactus of Colorado.)
