Pelecyphora

Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus is an extraordinary cactus with many small spirally-arranged tubercles tipped with tiny white spines in a comb like formation. Flowers are pinkish white to bright pink with darker magenta or reddish-brown mid-veins.

Pelecyphora aselliformis (Hatchet Cactus) is renowned for its uniquely shaped stem. The pectinate spines resemble sowbugs or woodlice (Oniscus asellus), inspiring its species name. A rare and prized specimen.
