Denmoza rhodacantha

Denmoza is a small genus, with one or two species (depending on how broadly one wishes to define a species) native to northwestern Argentina. There has been much debate on what other cacti they are most closely related to, but its seeds seem most similar to Oreocereus, although these are more columnar in their growth habit.
