There are nine to ten ribs, which are divided into low cusps. Brownish to blackish thorns arise from the brownish areoles on them, which turn gray with age. The one to four central spines of unequal length are arranged crosswise, strongly palate and 3 to 6 centimeters long. The eight to ten radiating marginal spines are up to 1 centimeter long.
