Overall habit is pendant or semi-erect, branches are monomorphic (single stem shape) and mesotonic or acrotonic (stems form from the tips to middle of previous stems). Stems are 2 to 4 angled, margins have low to deep crenations (slightly to deeply scalloped), bristles are absent. Main stems are indeterminate (seasonal growth is various lengths), 4.5cm-90cm x 1.2cm-4.5cm. Flowers are campanulate or infundibuliform (bell or funnel shaped), 1.5cm x 1.6cm. Petals 11, sepals 3.

Flower ovary is cylindrical-angled, 0.4cm-0.5cm x 0.2cm-0.3cm. Flowering position on the stem is lateral and the flower orientation in relation to the stem is oblique. It is unreported whether flowering repeats per areole. A maximum of 1 flowers were reported at a single areole. Areole position in the stems is superficial (flower ovary is visible on the surface of the stems during bud development). Trichomes or wool is absent, sparse or dense at the areoles after flowering. Unripe fruit is red. Ripe fruit is globose, subglobose or obconical-globose; pink or magenta, unreported x unreported.
