Gymnocalycium ochoterenae




     Gymnocalycium ochoterenae is another flattened, brown bodied, interestingly spined cactus. I like the looks of the single downward curving spine coming from each wooly areole. Other than the fact that this one is also from Argentina, I could find out little about it. Pictures I've seen show a white flower and offsets, so maybe it will become a nice little clump someday.
