Xerophyte

Description

The superb feature of some of this hybrids is due to the intersection between the traits of the ancestors and make them very desirable. The more beautiful the pattern and the markings, the more sought after the plant. Many of the best have inherited by “ONZUKA” very large, white flecks with V mark. Ribs are sharp usually eight (like in Astrophytum ornatum) and are spineless (or whit very short spines) clearly indicating the relationship with Astrophytum myriostigmaSN|1845]]SN|1845]].This hybrid are strong growing. The flower are also very beautiful.

Note

Compare with the inverse hybrid which is similar but with longer spines. Astrophytum hybrid ONZ-OR (A. myriostigma cv. Onzuka x A. ornatum)
