| Meier 1995:18; E.B. Hoare Notes: B1-4 - B1-5 | yellow-green phylloclades are almost as broad at their bases as their apexes. Phylloclades average 4.5 cm. in length, 2 cm. in width with 1 cm. long, yellow-grey bristles in linear areoles (apexes) giving a bushy effect. Segment edges are wavy with a red-violet edge in newer growth. Lateral areoles number 3 - 4 per side in deeper crenations. |
