Astrophytum hybrid ONZ- AS
(A. myriostigma cv. onzuka x A. asterias )

A. myriostigma cv. onzuka x A. asterias (cv. Superkabuto)
 

In F1 cactus hybrids the plants usually show a body shape similar to that of the mother plant and an intermediate mix of other characters.

This peculiar plant is the result of crossbreeding  from A. asterias and A. myryostigma, and shows some interesting intermediate features of both the parents.
