Dr Nidhi ji,

"Melocactus JM,

Hard to say which species as there are many variables. Size of plant, color of skin (the color looks off on this one), color of cephalium and flower color all are taken for identification, was well as shape, length, color and type of spines. But a Melocactus for sure.

God Bless and Good Growing,
