It grows as a solitary, flattened, spherical plant up to 6 cm in diameter with a large taproot. Its 9–11 ribs feature chin-like projections up to 1 cm long. The cactus lacks central spines but has 6–7 stiff, curved, brown marginal spines, also up to 1 cm long. It produces silver-white flowers up to 6.5 cm long and 4.5 cm wide, and its blue-green fruits are egg- to club-shaped, measuring 2.5–3 cm.

Distribution

Taxonomy

Described in 1985 by Walter Rausch, its name derives from the Latin words albus (white) and areolatus (with areoles).
