This species is growing in Brasil, Minas Gerais, in the mountains 20 km west in of the town Diamantina.
Other species of CIPOCEREUS, DISCOCACTUS and PILOSOCEREUS are growing within the same habitats.
The plants may reach a wide around 10 cm and a height up to 40 cm.
The field numbers HU 361 and HU 856 are widely spread in our collections.
As you may discover by my photographs, the species looks nearly like U. PECTINIFERA SSP PECTINIFERA.
Near the growing point of the plant, the thorns possess an amber or yellowish coulor. This turns into a brownish and grayish-blackish tone the older the thorns will become. So the name "flavispina" - meaning yellow thorn - is more a pretty exaggeration than reality.
I bought this plant on a fair this year. It had been grafted on an ECHINOPSIS. Coming home I took a closer look and...
The connection of both plants existed of only two small vessels. The rest consisted of a broad chasm. So I cut the downer part of the plant off and powdered it with charcoal powder. I hope that a new kallus is forming. Then again I will powder the basis of the plant - this time with AUXIN or GIBERELLIC ACID.
I will show you...
