Description
Ferocactus johnstonianus is a solitary, spherical to short cylindrical cactus that can grow over 1 meter tall and up to 35 cm (14 in) in diameter. It has 24 to 31 slightly humped ribs and 22 to 25 golden-yellow, awl-shaped spines that turn brown with age and reach up to 6 cm (2.4 in) long, without differentiating into central and radial spines. The cactus produces funnel-shaped yellow flowers that grow up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long and 3.5 cm (1.4 in) in diameter. Its fruits, which are about 3 cm (1.2 in) long, sometimes open with a basal pore.
