Character

Skin
Reportedly smooth and blue-green.
Ribs
Reportedly badly distorted or suppressed - typically none to four poorly defined ribs on a segment.
Growth habit
Reportedly short, segmented joints rather than long columns.
Notes
: reportedly gathered mostly at the foot of new growth and where segments join, each carrying one to four honey-to-cinnamon spines of 1-5 cm, while the upper surfaces of segments often stay bare.
Drawing of a bridgesii-type column: slim, with few ribs, areoles set widely apart and long needle spines.
