Ariocarpus furfuraceus is a cactus from Coahuila state, in north Mexico. It might be a Ariocarpus retusus synonym.
Solitary, slow-growing geophyte cactus, with tubercles slightly projecting above ground level. The large tuberous body is below the soil.
This genre has long been considered a very difficult or impossible culture, but it is a misconception. This reputation comes from the extreme slowness with which species of this genus grow.
