Echinopsis spachiana, commonly known as the golden torch, (white) torch cactus or golden column, is a species of cactus native to South America. Previously known as Trichocereus spachianus for many years, it is commonly cultivated as a pot or rockery plant worldwide. It has a columnar habit, with a lime-green cylindrical body with 1–2 cm long golden spines.
Echinopsis spachiana grows as a cactus with a columnar habit, reaching 2 m (7 ft) high, with a diameter of 5–6 cm (2–2 1⁄4 in). Vertical branches arise from the base of the plant.[3] Each column has 10–15 rounded ribs. The large areoles are around 1 cm apart, and have wavy yellow hairs. The straight spines are red-yellow initially, fading to white as they age. The central spine is around 1–2 cm (1⁄2–3⁄4 in) long, and is surrounded by 8 to 10 smaller radial spines that are 0.4–1 cm (1⁄4–1⁄2 in) in length. The white flowers are 15 cm (6 in) across and 18–20 cm (7–7 3⁄4 in) long, part of which is an 8 cm long tube. In their native habitat, the flowers appear in June–July and open at night
