Plants usually solitary, nearly globular, often 10 cm. in diameter, pale green, densely covered with spines; axils of tubercles containing white bristles, the flowering and fruiting ones filled with dense white wool; radial spines about 16, slightly spreading, white except the dark tips; central spines 4, longer and stouter than the radials, porrect, reddish brown; flowers rather small, about 12 mm. long, purplish; inner perianth-segments oblong, entire; filaments pale; stigma-lobes green; fruit scarlet, 12 to 16 mm. long; seeds brownish. Collected by Rose, Standley, and Russell on rocks in the Sierra de Alamos, Sonora, Mexico, March 14, 1910 (No. 12849). It is common in dry stony places above Alamos, where both living and herbarium specimens were obtained, and is an attractive plant flowering freely in cultivation. The plant is named for Paul C. Standley of the U. S. National Museum.
