Regarded by some as yet another form of Aylostera fiebrigii. Like that species, forming largeish spheroid green stems, clumping with age. Spines are abundant, fairly long and very thin, white, criss-crossing laterally across the whole stem, and with some darker brownish spines projecting outwards. Flowers are orange-red or blood red, the outer petals having more pinkish tones; stamens are yellow, stigmas white.
