Stenocactus crispatus cactus

Stenocactus crispatus home cactus succulent plant in black plastic flower pot planter *Stenocactus crispatus (Formerly known as Echinofossulocactus crispatus) is one of the more popular and prettiest cactus species. It is closely covered with very long flattened spines and wavy dark matt green ribs contrasting vividly with the pale wool of the new areoles. It is a very variable species that now includes many form (previously considered independent species) with one form intergrading into another, creating a taxonomic nightmare. It is similar to Stenocactus multicostatus and equally variable, but has often a darker stem with less numerous ribs.* http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/Family/Cactaceae/3443/Stenocactus_crispatus Photogrammetry scan 160x24MP, 3x8K texture.
