Initial comments

 * "The stems are dark green and often obscured by the spines, which are tan, to brown, black, or pink" - might read better as The stems are dark green and often obscured by the spines, which range from tan, brown, black, or pink or something similar to that?
 * "There are up to 7 central spines per areole" - seven, keeping in the tradition that low numbers are written out
 * The source Flora of North America mentions that "Oklahoma populations with unusually long bristlelike spines were named E. baileyi" - this might be worth adding in somewhere if you want to expand the native habitat section (especially where it says "They are also found in Kansas and Oklahoma")
 * "Plants are considered deer resistant.[4] '' " - where did this come from? I thought it was a standalone quote, but it's actually two apostrophes. Probably a typo?
 * "Plants are considered deer resistant" - sounds a bit vague. Is Echinocereus reichenbachii deer resistant?


 * It would be worth splitting the references into two columns

Close - promoted
This is one of those articles I enjoy reviewing as I can take time to look through all of the sources because it's so compact and well written! I had time to check through the sources I could access and found no problems, although I made a suggestion that you could use a little more of the "Flora of North America" source to expand if you want. I also fixed a typo where it looks like Echinocereus reichenbachii was going to be italicised. Everything else I found was so minor that I thought I should just promote this outright, so I did. Well done! JAG UAR   13:45, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for providing this review, Jaguar! I adopted your above suggestions, so thanks for those also. RO (talk)  16:01, 15 September 2015 (UTC)
