Thelocactus hexaedrophorus is stout-bodied with an attitude. Its plump irregularly shaped tubercles contrast with its flattened reddish spines that curve inward toward the stem so they are finger-friendly. Its flattened curvy spines are reminiscent of Echinofossulocactus phyllacanthus v. violaciflora. Since they are both from Mexico they may distantly related.
