Astrophytum

Astrophytum hybrid OR-MY (A. ornatum × A. myriostigma), nude and variegated. Rare naturally branching specimens with smooth green skin and unique cream, yellow, or pink variegation. Highly collectible and sporadically available.

A.k.a cv. Goryo Kabuto (Five Ribs) + Ruri in Japan - Unusual form featuring just 5 smooth green ribs, contrasting with the species' standard 8-rib morphology. These rare 5-ribbed specimens are exceptionally uncommon and highly prized.

Special "Fly's wings" variety - Displays striking white V-patterns at every areole (like fly wings), rarely seen in standard 'Super Kabuto'. The markings develop beautifully with age. Exceptionally attractive!

"SAZNAMI" is one of the finest Japanese clones. Its ribs bear many raised, wavy ridges, each crowned with an almost unbroken line of white felt. Proliferation of shoots along the ribs creates a lush, dramatic form, making it a standout specimen.

‘Snowy Peter’ is an Astrophytum hybrid derived from A. myriostigma and A. ornatum. Its defining feature is the symmetrical proliferation of lateral shoots from the areoles—a trait not found in either parent.

Derived from complex crosses involving A. myriostigma and various other forms, this cultivar features tightly packed woolly dots arranged in distinct vertical bands in a unique exceptional surface design.

This rare Japanese cultivar is distinguished by ribs segmented into sharp tubercles, producing a distinctive “saw-tooth” outline. The nudum form has a smooth, plain green body with no white spotting. Natural variation ensures every plant is one of a kind.

Exceptional variant of Astrophytum asterias, easily recognized by its five ribs rather than eight. A truly uncommon and sought-after form, offered in very limited availability.

A distinctive variety recognized by its areoles connected by a continuous white woolly line running along the ridge of the ribs. Grafted specimens. Limited and sporadic availability.

“HAKUUN” is a celebrated and historic Japanese cultivar. The plant’s five ribs are adorned with fine white speckles that coalesce into soft, cloud-like markings. It is also referred to as Astrophytum myriostigma ‘Maculatum’.

A bizarre variety with a branching habit, producing new shoots from the areoles and gradually forming small clusters over time. The nudum form features a uniform green surface, lacking (or nearly lacking) the typical white speckles.

The Line Areoles form, or Haku-Jo in Japanese, features a delicate fuzzy strip linking the areoles, creating a graceful linear design along the ribs.

In the Line Areoles variety (known as Haku-jo in Japanese), a soft white felted line connects the areoles, forming an elegant, continuous pattern along the ribs.

Astrophytum myriostigma ‘Tricostatum’ is a renowned and captivating cultivar with only three ribs. Its stem is speckled with white dots—sparse or dense—giving the plant a highly ornamental appearance.
