CactusJordi wrote: Xeno, usually most of what Ted Anderson wrote in his book is correct. Even in this case it's almost correct. The spines of ssp. gatesii are only up to 3 mm wide. And so are the spines on my plants with ~ 2.6 mm. But in most pictures of the ssp. gatesii I see plants with hooked (and not only curved) spines. The spines of a real ssp. coloratus look more brutal.
