Description
Ariocarpus fissuratus mostruosus forms large proliferating dark green stems with white woolly crowns. It shows an abnormal, uncoordinated form of vegetative growth, with a multitude of condensed lateral proliferation, each areole originating a new stem only a few centimetres across. The plant looks more like a strange furry animal or a marine creature than a cactus.
Remarks: Each specimen shows some growing variations and is different and particular.
Origin and Habitat
Nursery produced cultivar.
