Description
The beautiful peach-coloured flowers are what set this cultivar apart from the typical Astrophytum myriostigma var. nudum. Like the typical form, it features five prominent, spineless ribs and smooth, glossy green skin; therefore, it is named “nudum”, meaning “naked” or “bare” in Latin. The solitary stem starts out globular when young, becoming short-columnar with age.
