Scientific Name[]

Amphoraforma leucospina

Description[]

If it weren't for the rust red color and the cniderium, this could be a plant from Earth's deserts. Note the squat, compact shape and the multitude of spines - this could be a cactus, or a euphorb, or a crassula. Convergent evolution is marvelous. --Jane Van Susteren, Exobiology Lead
