Description
The "Godzilla" is one of the most priced and widely known Ariocarpus cultivars. It has been probably developed by Japanese growers from Ariocarpus fissuratusSN|2114]]SN|2114]], and there are several slightly different types (the Thais speaks of cloning) in circulation. The strongly structured surface and the deep colour of the plants are typical, but greener or woollier plants are in the variation range of this cultivar. The Ariocarpus fissuratusSN|2114]]SN|2114]] cv. Godzilla (Cotton Flock Type) is a very woolly form in which the rough tubercled epidermis is almost concealed by dense long hairs. There are also some variegate and even crested forms of Godzillas.
