Huernia keniensis Eric.
Re: ID please
The Ferocactus is probably Ferocactus Electracanthus though it's probably known by more than one name, along with just about every other plant in the cactus and succulent hobby.

Re: ID please
Stuart is spot on with the Ferocactus being F. electracanthus and also in it having other names.
The more modern excepted name is Ferocactus histrix but you could also call it Ferocatus melocactiformis the choice is yours Eric.
