			''Acanthocalycium spiniflorum'' is a species of cactus in the genus [[Acanthocalycium]], native to Argentina.

	== Description ==		== Description ==
	'''Acanthocalycium spiniflorum''' is a ~~globose~~ to ~~short cylindrical~~ cactus ~~species native to Argentina. Plants are~~ typically solitary, dark green to ~~gray-green~~, ~~reaching up~~ to ~~15 cm in height and 10–12 cm in diameter~~.		'''Acanthocalycium spiniflorum''' is a small to medium-sized cactus, typically solitary, with globose to slightly elongated stems. The epidermis is green to dark green.

			The plant has well-defined ribs with slightly rounded margins. Areoles bear numerous radial spines and several stronger central spines. Spines are straight to slightly curved, varying in color from whitish to brownish.

	~~The ribs~~ are ~~numerous (10–16)~~, ~~clearly defined~~ and ~~divided into tubercles~~. ~~Areoles are oval,~~ bearing ~~dense clusters of~~ spines~~. Radial spines (8–12) are slender and slightly curved~~, ~~while central spines (1–4) are thicker~~ and ~~more prominent~~.		Flowers are funnel-shaped, relatively large, and typically pink to reddish, sometimes with lighter tones. The floral tube is covered with scales bearing spines, hairs, and bristles.

	~~Flowers~~ are ~~large relative to the plant body~~, ~~funnel-shaped~~, and ~~usually pink to reddish or magenta, sometimes with lighter centers. The floral tube bears scales with hairs and bristles~~. ~~Fruits~~ are small, ~~globose, dry~~, and ~~dehiscent~~.		Fruits are spherical, dry, and dehiscent. Seeds are small, dark, and papillose.
