Description

Lobivia schieliana often sprouts from the base and forms cushions. The spherical to cylindrical, dark green shoots reach heights of up to 4.5 centimeters with diameters of 3.5 centimeters. There are 13 to 21 ribs. The single light brown central spine, which is often missing initially, is curved downwards and 0.5 to 0.6 centimeters long. The approximately 14 comb-shaped to radiating marginal spines are interwoven. They are flexible, white, yellowish or brown and are 1 to 2 centimeters long.

The short funnel-shaped flowers are bright red, red or sometimes yellow. They are 4 to 5 centimeters long and have the same diameter. The spherical, juicy fruits reach a diameter of up to 1 centimeter. [3]
