1x Gymnocalycium spegazzinii var. unguispinum (exact plant from picture 3”, latest good roots)Description: Gymnocalycium spegazzinii var. unguispinum is a depressed globular cactus distinguished from the type species for its truly short spine clusters. The var. unguispinum (sometime labelled as form, subspecies or cultivars) is a rare, naturally occurring, mutant collected and selected="" for particular characters. Typically it has only 5 short spines less than 1 cm long, these are stout, subulate, eagle claw-shaped, typically-twisted and curved gracefully outward and downward. The name 'unguispinus' is not accepted by botanists that treat it as synonym (or cultivars), but it has a value for a collector because they identify plants with particular characters.Stem: Depressed, globular, about 6 cm high, 14 cm in diameter, grayish green.Ribs: 13, broad and low, rounded on the margin.Areoles: Elliptic.
