Cochemiea macdougallii is a species of cactus in the genus Cochemiea.[1] The plant has a greenish-gray epidermis and black spines. It is only known from Oaxaca, Mexico.[citation needed]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1961 by Edward Johnston Alexander as Ortegocactus macdougallii.[2] It was the only species in Alexander's genus Ortegocactus. Ortegocactus was later synonymized with Cochemiea, but a name in that genus was only provided in 2021.[1][3]
