Description
Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]] forma mostruosa criasta is one of the most distinctive and unmistakable crested plant. It’s very different from the common long and dense spiny form of Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]].
Spines
Usually absent, a few small bristly spines are occasionally produced in the flowering areoles.
Areoles
Spineless with a short white wool, they are arranged geometrically and contrast with the stem.
