It develops on sun-exposed slopes, exhibiting a polycarpic growth habit with crested branching that disrupts the typical cylindrical stem morphology. Serpentine cylindrical stem, 3-5 cm diameter, branching into undulate crests up to 10 cm wide. Dark green coloration with bluish hues intensified under full sun exposure.
