The stem is covered in tubercles which are unique to cacti and is a term used to describe the cone shaped projections. Each tubercle on this plant is adorned with spines. The radial or central spine on each tubercle is black in colour and slightly hooked at the end. This makes the stand out against the short, stiff, white spines that surround them. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eA \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003ewooly growth develops at the base of each tubercles, this growth is called a cephalium.
