Looks like an unusually large Sulcorebutia, perhaps steinbachii.

Yes Phil SK, that's what I have it as. It is rather large, now residing in a 20 inch bowl. Seem to like it too, now throwing up lots of buds (tu)

Have a large balanced collection of both cacti and succulents but enjoy growing cristate, monstrose and generally anything a bit weird!
