The Melocactus glaucescens stands out for its distinctive white cephalium, a rare feature among cacti. This Brazilian cactus captivates collectors with its unique growth form, where the cephalium develops at the apex. The cephalium appears as a dense, woolly structure, contrasting beautifully against the smooth, bluish-green stem. This characteristic draws attention and adds ornamental value to any collection.
