Front cover: Echinomastus johnsonii near Meadview, Arizona, USA. The dark red colour of the spines is from the light at sunset after a very short rainstorm. The colour of the spination is generally pale in that area. Growing in extremely gravelly soil which is very poor in nutrients, it is often found with the base of the plant or top of the roots exposed. According to The New Cactus Lexicon this is Sclerocactus johnsonii Photo: David Donati
