Description
editAriocarpus scaphirostris grows geophytically with dark green to brown bodies, 4 to 9 centimeters in diameter, with only the warts protruding from the soil surface. The warts are somewhat triangular in cross-section, spreading, pointed, and more than twice as long as they are wide. Areoles are absent or located near the tip of the warts.
The plant is slow growing and also produces rare flowers.[3] The magenta flowers reach a diameter of 4 centimeters, and the greenish fruits are 9 to 15 millimeters long.[4]

Taxonomy
editFirst described in 1930 by Friedrich Bödeker, the specific epithet "scaphirostris" is derived from the Greek "skaphe" (ship) and the Latin "rostrum" (beak), referring to the shape of the wart tips.[5] Bödeker's original spelling, "Ariocarpus scapharostrus," was corrected by D. R. Hunt, in 1991 to comply with Article 61.1 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature.[6][7]
Pharmacology
editHordenine, N-methyltyramine, N-methyl-3,4-dimethoxy-β-phenethylamine and N,N-dimethyl-3,4-dimethoxy-β-phenethylamine were found in Ariocarpus scaphirostris.[8]
