Lophophora fricii is a rare globular cactus species native to the region around Viesca in Coahuila, Mexico. First documented in 1931, this unique cactus is sometimes referred to as Lophophora sp. var. Viesca. While some classify it as a subspecies of Lophophora diffusa, its distinct characteristics support its status as a separate species—especially since fricii does not accept pollen from other Lophophora species.
The cactus is easily recognized by its smooth grey-green skin and vibrant red to deep pink flowers. Though its seeds closely resemble those of other Lophophora species, its flower color and geographic isolation set it apart. It is a prized species among collectors and conservationists alike.
