Black Lace Cactus is a small ornamental cactus with landscape value. It has large pink to light purple flowers (Merritt, pers. comm.). Variety albertii grows in south Texas along the Gulf Coast in only three counties. Over the years it has been over-collected due to its beautiful flowers. Like other south Texas species, habitat destruction is one of the major threats to this plant. (USFWS 1987).
