## Description

*Setiechinopsis mirabilis* grows solitary. The cylindrical, dull yellowish-green to brown-green shoots reach heights of 12 to 15 cm (4.7 to 5.9 in) with a diameter of up to 2 cm (0.79 in). There are eleven ribs that are slightly wavy. The single, protruding and straight central spine is 1 to 1.5 cm (0.39 to 0.59 in) long. The nine to 14 radial spines are slender and straight.

The narrow, tubular, white flowers appear near the tips of the shoots and are rather unpleasantly scented. They are 11 to 12 cm (4.3 to 4.7 in) long. Their bracts are spread out. The fruits reach a diameter of 0.6 to 1 cm (0.24 to 0.39 in) and are 3.5 to 4 cm (1.4 to 1.6 in) long.[5]
