Many different Astrophytum hybrids have been
developed involving
Superkabuto and
coahuilense and many of the more distinctive trait of
some of the best forms of Superkabuto has been inherited from A.
cohauilense..
The superb feature of some of this hybrids is due to the intersection
between the traits of the ancestors and make them very desirable.
The more beautiful the pattern and the markings, the more sought after
the plant. Many of the best have inherited by “SUPERKABUTO” very
large, white flecks and from A. coahuilense the
Tomentose structure of flecks. Ribs are usually eight ( like
in A. asterias) and have raised +/- sharp ribs clearly indicating
the relationship with A. coahuilense. This hybrid are strong growing.
The flower are also very beautiful.
