Areoles are 3 mm in diameter with white to yellowish wool. There are (6)8-15 spines per areole mostly in the distal areoles. The longest spine is 3-5.5 cm. The major 2-3 abaxial spines are erect and often red-brown. The major 2-4 adaxial spines are divergent and ascending and often rich red-brown, +\/- terete. Marginal spines are deflexed and whitened, angular-flattened to subterete; the longest central abaxial spine is usually brownish with whitish wavy lines.  Glochids may reach 6 mm and ca be very numerous.
