This plant looks like someone starved a Mammillaria and then cast a spell to reanimate only the bones. From llifle: “Leuchtenbergia is a monotypic genus (having only a single species). However, despite its very different appearance it is closely related to Ferocactus and hybrids have been created between these two genera. This hybrid is known with the name Ferobergia.” I’m waiting a bit to add “var. thachythele,” but a really cool, discounted, rare supermarket find, nonetheless.
