Arrojadoa

The Serra Escura (State of Bahia, Brasil) is home to the endemic and rare Arrojadoa marilanae. It's a very nice short columnar with dense yellow spination, clear pink flowers, cephalium formed like rings around the stem.

Arrojadoa aureispina is a clustered, cylinder-shaped cactus that produces apical clusters of pinkish purple flowers. The specific name “aureispina”, yellow spined, refers to characteristic golden-yellow spines of this plant.
