Astrophytum myriostigma Lotusland

Description and meaning of the name

A monstrose form producing tuberculate, densely hairy stems and many offsets. The archived description and catalogue differ over flowering frequency. Cactus Art describes small yellow flowers and limited fertility, presenting possible crossing with coahuilense as uncertain. The atlas does not assign this feature to every clone without confirmation. [11-WWW] [Anonim b.d.e]

Cultivation and documentation

The A. myriostigma profile applies, with dense branching considered. Offsets maintain a particular clone vegetatively. Allow separation wounds to heal. [11-WWW] [Anonim b.d.e]
