An article in The Times of India describes a current exhibit of succulent plants, but do we really have to use the stereotypical common names that sometimes seem irresistible to some people. The "Golden Barrel" (Echinocactus grusonii) is described as "Chinocactus ...'Mother-in-law's Chair'"!
It also appears that they really grow them "hard" in India: "Typically, a desert plant can survive more than 40 years without water."
Wow!
