Plants protruding above ground 0–2(–10) cm. Stems: tubercles forming coarse mosaic, closely packed, exposed faces of tubercles deltoid to hemispheric, deeply fissured on either side of central areolar groove, coarsely rugose, often sharply angled apically; areoles to 3 mm wide, sometimes confined to middle of tubercle faces instead of extending to tips. Flowers 2.5–5 cm diam., 2 times wider than long when fully expanded; inner tepals 21–30 × 5.5–7.5(–10) mm.
Phenology: Flowering Sep–Nov.
Habitat: Chihuahuan desert scrub, low, rocky hills of limestone chips
Elevation: 500-1500 m
Distribution
Tex., Mexico (Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango).
