Description
Astrophytum asteriasSN|1464]]SN|1464]] cv. Ooibo Kabuto is a Japanese selected strain with big areoles.The "Ooibo" is very similar to the standard Astrophytum asteriasSN|1464]]SN|1464]], but it has very large characteristic and woolly areoles, the colour of the wool also varies from pure white, to pastel, yellowish, orangish or brownish depending on the clone. So it is easily distinguishable from the common asterias that has relatively small scarcely woolly greys-white areoles.
