Crestate/cristate saguaro, I guess? My friends Bob Cardell and Pat Hammes once made a project of photographing as many crestate saguaros as they could find--over 1000 around the state. They presented their findings at a SAHC meeting, and also here:

Wow those are some unusual looking cacti there ! Almost looks like a creature from space with a bumpy head or even hands...

Very strange looking but interesting
