Description
Thelocactus hastiferSN|13956]]SN|13956]] f. monstruosus is an odd proliferating form with green short stems with very short whitish bristles. It shows an abnormal uncoordinated form of vegetative growth, and produces a multitude of condensed lateral proliferation only a few centimetres long, and the plant looks more like a strange green coral than a cactus.
