Coryphantha elephantidens f. crested

The crested shape of a cactus has a very particular fan crest as it will never be found identical in different plants making each of them unique in its kind and for this reason much sought after by collectors. In its normal form it is a globose cactus with a solitary posture that, with time, can turn on the base. Its stem is olive green, slightly concave at the apex and has numerous tubercles. From the areoles come out its yellowish thorns that are robust and curved. During the flowering period, in spring, this cactus gives flowers of color ranging from light yellow to pale pink.
