Ferocactus lindsayi is a solitary cactus that grows as spherical to short cylindrical shoots, ranging from gray-green to glauk-green in color.

The gray spines are banded, with a single, straight central spine that is round and up to 4.5 cm (1.8 in) long, along with five to six straight or slightly curved marginal spines measuring 2.5 to 3 cm (0.98 to 1.18 in) in length.

The bell-shaped, yellow flowers of Ferocactus lindsayi can grow up to 5 cm (2.0 in) long and have a diameter of 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in). Its egg-shaped fruits, which are purple in color, reach a length of 1.5 cm (0.59 in).[3][4]
