Astrophytum myriostigma, commonly known as the Bishop’s Cap, is a beautiful spineless cactus with a distinctive star-shaped form. Its body is usually divided into five ribs (sometimes more) and is covered in fine white speckles that give it a soft, frosted appearance. The color ranges from grey-green to blue-green. Mature plants produce elegant, bright yellow flowers from the crown, creating a stunning contrast against the pale body.
