Shrubs, forming clumps, 10–20 cm. Roots tuberlike, 7–10 × 3.5–5(–7.5) cm.

Discussion
Reports of Grusonia pulchella in Arizona (L. D. Benson 1969, 1982; J. Lode 1993) are undocumented (B. D. Parfitt 1988) or lack adequate specimens. Those reports resulted either from locality data errors or confusion with G. parishii or Cylindropuntia whipplei.
