:greenthumb: x2 ..and quite badly scorched. Damaged areas will not regrow either.  Species looks like Astrophytum capricorne.

Thank you

I'm thinking A. Ornatum as the direction of the spiralling is opposite that of capricorne.

It's a sunburned Astrophytum ornatum. Rather than tolerating the permanent damage, I would cut off the growing point then remove and root the offsets next year.
