Caudex: Turnip-shaped, fleshy to somewhat woody, flattened above, up to 2.5-5 cm in diameter, (often sunken in the ground in times of drought) with a spherical crown of thin branches up to 2.5 cm above the ground. However, some exceptional plants found in nature exceed 10 cm in diameter and can be several centuries old.
Branches: Sub-terminal, numerous, sterile and floriferous, undivided, very short, 2 mm thick.

Flowers: Carmine red or pink, 1.2-1.5 cm in diameter, about 6 mm long. Sepals oval, obtuse. 2 to 4 times longer than the involucre. Self-fertile, they can produce seeds even if you only have one plant.
