The terminal stems are generally easy to remove and are 5 to 13 cm long by 1.8 to 3 cm wide with prominent tubercles. The areoles have 0 to 8 spines which generally slightly overlap with those of adjacent areoles. The spines range in color from yellow to brown or sometimes pinkish to red-brown, and they age to brown-grey. The spine sheaths are whitish, sometimes with yellow tips. The flowers are rose to magenta with deep pink filaments, white styles sometimes with reddish-purple tips, and greenish-white stigmas. The fruits are yellow to purplish and form short chains. The fruits are usually sterile, as G. \u00d7kelvinensis<\/em> is mostly triploid (2n = 33). However, some diploid individuals (2n = 22) have also been found.<\/p>\n G. \u00d7kelvinensis<\/em> is a naturally occurring hybrid between G. fulgida<\/em> and G. spinosior<\/em>.
