Description edit
Soehrensia grandiflora often branches from the base and forms small groups. The spherical to briefly cylindrical, green shoots are often tapered towards their tip. They reach heights of up to 16 centimeters and have a diameter of 11.5 centimeters. There are nine to 14 wide and rounded ribs. The areoles on them are light brown and are up to 1.5 centimeters apart. Light yellow, brown-tipped thorns emerge from them and become darker with age. The one to five central spines are 3.3 to 3.7 centimeters long. The seven to twelve marginal spines become quite strong over time and are up to 3 centimeters long.
The short, funnel-shaped, red flowers are up to 8 centimeters long and reach a diameter of 9 centimeters.[2]
