Admired for its compact globular body, neatly defined ribs, and brilliant golden-yellow flowers, this slow-growing cactus develops an elegant symmetry that has made it a favorite among collectors of South American species. During the growing season, mature plants produce flowers that are impressively large in proportion to the plant, creating a vibrant display against its rich green epidermis and finely arranged spines.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"1148\"\u003eNative to the grasslands of northeastern Uruguay, this locality form represents a very different ecological niche than the arid deserts commonly associated with cacti.
