Description
This cultivar only varies from the standard CAP-AS hybrids for lacking or mostly lacking white flecks, giving a bright green, blue-green, gray-green or mauve-green color overall depending on clones. This cultivar is obtained by controlled pollination of two pure green parents ( ♀ Astrophytum capricorneSN|1464]]SN|3564]] nudum x ♂ Astrophytum asteriasSN|3564]]SN|1464]] f. nudum ). The superb feature of some of these hybrids is due to the intersection between the traits of the ancestors. Many of them have inherited by A. capricorne raised ribs with spines. The flower are also very beautiful.
