The crested shape of this cactus presents in some parts the typical compact fan arrangement, which makes each exemplar absolutely unique, never identical to another and for this reason so much appreciated by collectors. Also known as "Carmen pincushion cactus", it is in its normal form a small globose cactus with both solitary and accestito posture. Its green stem is completely covered by small, soft and woolly spines. On its conical tubercles, more than one hundred pale yellow or, at times, intense copper thorns form, which are star-shaped and wrap around the entire stem: the final effect is absolutely wild but, at the same time, decidedly elegant!
