Description: Small clumping or (rarely) solitary succulent, that forms nice hemispherical clumps up to 10 cm tall and 3o cm in diameter. It grows relatively fast for a small so small sized plant.
Stems: Prominently tubercled, harmless, green to dirty brown/green, 12 to 16 angled. It produces a host of branches from the central roundish base (caudex). It grows apically and upward of course, but the stems are dragged downward by contractile action, probably seated in the roots.
Leaves: Reduced to short bristles on the young stems.
Flowers: Green or brownish cyathias in the fall or spring
