It is a diminutive form consisting of clustering globular stems with straight or barely hooked spines making it easy to handle. It also seems to be easier to grow than many forms of this species, less prone to rotting and persisting for many years. Its flowers are a distinctive red-orange, with slender, linear petals, and are produced in such profusion, densely clustered around the apex of the plant, that they can completely obscure the stems. The beige stigmas are divided into 9 to 13 linear lobes and emerge from a bed of stamens at the base of the flower. The species was described from cultivation but was said to have been grown from seed collected by Friedrich Ritter in Salta, Argentina in 1964. The epithet commemorates Walter Weskamp, president of the German cactus society in Kiel.
