Phenology: Flowering Feb–Mar; fruiting May–Jul.
Habitat: Chihuahuan desert scrub, low hills, gravelly bajadas, with sparse grasses and creosote bushes or in dense scrub with Texas false-agave, lechuguilla, and silverleaf, diverse substrates including limestone, tuff, and gypsum

Discussion

Echinomastus warnockii is very difficult to distinguish from E. intertextus var. dasyacanthus, except that the former has green stigma lobes and indehiscent fruits. Flowers of E. warnockii taper to their bases, unlike the broad-based flowers of E. intertextus. The photograph accompanying L. D. Benson’s original diagnosis of E. warnockii portrayed the relatively distinctive E. mariposensis instead, resulting in persistent confusion.

Echinomastus warnockii almost certainly occurs in Mexico but no specimens were seen in herbaria of Mexico or the United States.
