It has 12 to 13 straight ribs, barely visible cusps, and strong, dark reddish to black thorns that turn gray with age. Most thorns are straight, but some are curved. The single central spine can reach one centimeter in length, while the 5 radial spines are between 2.5 and 3.2 centimeters long, with one pointing downwards. The hemispherical cephalium, consisting of white wool and dark brown bristles up to 3.2 centimeters long, grows up to 5 centimeters high and has a diameter of 9 to 10 centimeters. The tubular to funnel-shaped flowers are up to 7.5 centimeters long, and the club-shaped fruits are whitish to slightly pinkish white, measuring 3.2 to 4.5 centimeters in length and 5 to 9 millimeters in diameter.[2]
