Description
This cultivar only varies from the standard AS-CAP 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 asteriasSN|3564]]SN|1464]] f. nudum x ♀ Astrophytum capricorneSN|1464]]SN|3564]] 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. asterias areoles without spines or with very short spines. The large yellow and red throated flowers are also very beautiful.
