Gymnocalycium horstii

Gymnocalycium horstii is a globular cactus resembling a loaf of bread from a bakery. Plants have a squat appearance and spines that are curved back towards the body. Plants usually offset over time, creating interesting specimens. The body of this species is glossy and the flower is always white. Its close relative Gymnocalycium buenekeri which occurs 200 km westward has a very similar but dull body with always pink flowers. Gymnocalycium horstii is a very rare and threatened South American species and occurs only in the southern Brazilian province of Rio Grande do Sul. [1]

Notes

gollark: That sounds right.
gollark: I mean, technically it would be multinomial probably, but you can treat it as binomial for just "6" or "not 6".
gollark: This sounds like you can just abuse binomial distributions.
gollark: And please escape your `*`s.
gollark: - does not actually contain any `=` so not an equation- contains two unknowns while there's just one not-actually-equation- that's all really
