Description by F. Ritter in Kakteen in Südamerika - Band 4 - p. 1326.
Below is the description of the Cactus expert F. Ritter, who lived in South America for many years.
Note the larger details in the description.
N.B. By Cuzco is probably always meant the region of Cuzco.
Not to be confused with the province of Cuzco (around the city of Cuzco)
Description
Particularly characteristic of this species are the:
-- oval areoles, whereas the other species of the group of Cacti around Tr. pachanoi have round areoles.
-- thereby richly spored.
Branches: 7-10 cm thick, slightly notched.
Ribs: 6 - 8.
Areoles: 7 - 12 mm long,
at 10 - 12 mm free distance on Cuzco Cacti at the type locality Cuzco (ca 3000 m high).
At other sites also further away.
Areoles are very elevated due to rich felt (wool).
Spines: Brown, marginal spines most 8 - 16, which are especially on the lower edge of the areole,
fine, and 10 - 15 mm long,
with one or more semi-edge longer and thicker ones.
towards the top, the marginal spines are more distant and thicker
the upper ones are prong-like and 15 - 30 mm long.
Middle spines: Not sharply separated, about 2 - 4, thick, about 4 - 8 cm long.
Tall branches can sometimes be thornless with smaller also oval areoles.
Flowers: only 12 - 14 cm long according to Britton and Rose.
Some flowers I measured from the bottom of (the province of) Cuzco near Chillca, however, were 20 cm long.
Equally long or only slightly shorter were the flowers of this species from Chalhuanca (department of Apurimac).
In appearance, the latter plants (from Chalhuanca) resemble less spined specimens from the type-finding site.
Flower description: see the book.
Ritter number: FR 677a.
Locations: Cuzco (3000 m high).
Chillca (lower part of Cuzco province, Urubamba department ).
Chalhuanca (department of Apurimac).

0.5 to 5 milligrams per 100 grams of fresh Cactus = this is 0.0005 % to 0.005 % fresh Cactus.
Or less than one-thirteenth (< 1/13 the part) of the Mescaline concentration of an Echinopsis pachanoi.
Compare: Echinopsis pachanoi contains about 0.067 % Mescaline in a fresh Cactus.
