Origin and Habitat: Western Argentina
Stems: Tephrocactus articulatus develops in little pine-cone shaped segments that are loosely attached to each other and fall easily.
Spines: This is the spiny form (Tephrocactus articulatus var. papyracanthus) and has broad, raffia like, conspicuous , flattened spines which are not spines but thin ribbon like processes, and vary much as to their color, markings, and length.
Flowers: Blooms are either white or yellow. The white flowers made a nice contrast to the earth-tone colors of the plant.
Fruit: 1 to 5 cm long fruit is brown.
Notes: The little glochids at the areoles are quite a nuisance, and it is best to use gloves to handle this plant.
