Shrubs, forming clumps, to 0.4 m, often from tuberlike rootstocks. Stem segments not easily detached, dark green, cuneate-obovate to commonly rhombic, 5–20 × 4–8 cm, fleshy but firm; areoles 4–6(–8) per diagonal row across midstem segment, oval to subcircular, 2–4 mm diam.; wool tan. Spines (0–)1–6 per areole, usually in distal 40% of stem segment, gray-white to red-brown, erect or reflexed, terete or proximal ones flattened, sometimes spirally twisted, longest to 60 mm, very slender, 0.2 mm diam.
