Pyrrhocactus fuscus, also known as the Painted Lady Cactus, is a species of cactus that is native to Mexico and the southwestern United States.

The plant is valued for its medicinal properties, particularly its ability to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and act as an antiseptic.

Pyrrhocactus fuscus has been traditionally used to treat various health issues, including wounds, fever, and digestive problems, due to its astringent and antimicrobial properties.
