Aztekium ritteriSN|4248]]SN|4248]]i f. senilis is a nomen nudun (an avowed new name unaccompanied by a description or diagnosis) sometime used in the trade to indicate a woollier form of Aztekium ritteriSN|4248]]SN|4248]]i distinguished by its areoles densely covered by tufts of soft tangled greyish-white hair.
