Aylostera spinosissima
Definition
A perennial species of dwarf cactus native to the mountainous and arid regions of Bolivia, structurally recognized by its dark green globose or short cylindrical stems, characterized by an amazing density of long, thin, and extremely rigid spines. Its specific epithet originates from Latin, meaning 'most thorny', reflecting this dense protective shield from which spectacular, deep brick-red funnel-shaped flowers erupt delicately in spring from the lower areoles.
