'''''Ferocactus wislizeniiwislizeni''''', the '''fishhook barrel cactus''', also called '''Arizona barrel cactus''', '''candy barrel cactus''', and '''Southwestern barrel cactus''', is a [[species]] of [[flowering plant]] in the cactus [[family (botany)|family]] Cactaceae, native to northern [[Mexico]] and the southern [[United States]]. It is a ball-shaped cactus eventually growing to a cylindrical shape, with spiny ribs and red or yellow flowers in summer.

Some sources mistakenly spell the epithet "''wislizenii''." The correct spelling is with one "i," per ICN article 60C.2.<ref>J. McMeill et al. (eds). 2012.
