This mature Astrophytum myriostigma, commonly known as the Bishop's Cap Cactus, is a superb old specimen displaying the distinctive symmetry and character that make this species one of the most admired cacti among collectors.
Native to the limestone hills and rocky slopes of northeastern and central Mexico, Astrophytum myriostigma is recognised for its striking star-shaped form, most commonly with five broad ribs, and its dense covering of tiny white scales that create its characteristic silvery-grey appearance. Unlike many cacti, this species is naturally spineless, allowing its clean geometric form and unique texture to take centre stage.
Slow growing by nature, mature specimens such as this develop exceptional size, substance and symmetry over many years. Their architectural form and understated beauty make them highly sought after by collectors, with older plants being particularly desirable for their presence and age.
