Description
This is a free offsetting small form of Echinocactus grusoniiSN|3345]]SN|3345]] that is covered by yellowhish-white wool with short yellow spines. The rib structure is not yet apparent, and they have pronounced tubercles making them look superficially like Mammillarias. With age they will form large crowded clumps.
