Stem segments broadly obovate to circular, (4–)8.5–12 × (4–)5.5–11 cm; areoles 6–11 per diagonal row across midstem segment, 6–13 mm apart. Spines in most areoles, of 2 kinds: major spines (0–)1–3(–5) per areole, ± deflexed to reflexed or porrect at stem segment apex, yellow-brown to gray, 20–35(–40) mm; minor spines 0–5 per areole, deflexed, white, 5–10(–16) mm, sometimes spines of basal and near basal areoles are long, flexible, curling. Fruits stout; areoles 12–28, most bearing (4–)6–15 spines, 5–10 mm. 2n = 22, 44.
