The eight to twelve flat ribs are clearly divided into humps only in older plants. There is no central spine . The five to seven radiating or clawed, red-brown radial spines are sometimes lighter at their tips and are mostly on the shoot surface. They are 0.75 to 1.3 inches long.

The funnel-shaped lilac- pink to carmine-red flowers reach a length of 4.5 to 6.5 centimeters (rarely up to 8 centimeters) and have a diameter of 4 to 7 centimeters.
