Description
Acharagma galeanense is a small cactus that features numerous clumping, finger-like cylindrical stems measuring 6 to 10 cm in height and 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter. The stems are covered with 30 yellowish-white or deep golden spines growing out of each areole, with central spines that are nearly indistinguishable from the radial spines. The stem itself is pale green, cylindrical, and initially erect but becomes prostrate as it ages. The cactus produces creamy yellow flowers that are about 1.5 to 2 cm long. These flowers bloom at the tip of the stem.
Range & habitat
This species is native to northeastern Mexico, specifically in Coahuila and Galeana, Nuevo León. It typically grows on limestone hills within scrub biome environments.
