Ferrocactus Latispinus Cacti. Devil’s Tongue Barrel Cactus.
The Ferrocactus Latispinus is a very striking Cactus with amazing spines. Usually a solitary variety of cacti where the young specimens are globe shaped and more mature plants take on a cylindrical form. The light green stem has between 13-23 prominent ribs. The spines are clearly differentiated, 4 large central, of which the lowest one is wider and flat, bent downward and hooked, up to one and a half inches long. The remaining central spines are straight. Between 6-12 radial spines are spread and measure up to one inch long. Glossy vivid purple coloured funnel shaped flowers are about 2-3 inches in diameter and followed by oval shaped fruit. This really is an attractive cactus and perfect for Cacti enthusiasts.
