There seems to be
mostly one central spine.
The longest spine is
not always placed as a central but if considering the longest spines to BE
centrals then there are mostly 2 per areole.
Spines are mostly
darker tipped. Some have VERY dark bases.
New spines are rarely
entirely brown- if they are it is much darker than chestnut colored.
Some do have chestnut
brown but this is mostly tips and a few bases.
The longest spine is
occasionally directed downward.
Very light transverse depressions but no distinct furrow. (It IS swollen above the areole slightly)
Some areoles have
faint and short v-marks.
There are 7 ribs.
No areole approaches
1 cm but this tip cutting is still only a couple inches in diameter.
