Stem segments obovate, 8–10 × 5–8 cm; areoles (6–)8–10 per diagonal row across midstem segment, 10–17 mm apart. Spines in most areoles, grading in size and orientation; longer spines (1–)2–6 per areole, slightly descending porrect, ascending near apex, (yellow-gray to) brown to black, (40–)50–80 mm; smaller spines 4–6 per areole, reflexed, gray-white. Fruits stout; areoles 11–21, bearing 4–8 spines, 4–18 mm. 2n = 44, 66.


Phenology: Flowering late spring.
Habitat: Grasslands, pinyon-juniper woodlands, clay or limestone soils
