Here's the original description: 5-8cm high in the wild.

Plants grow much larger in good cultivation than they do in habitat, just as many animals in zoo's often live longer than is usual in the wild.

The original description Phil lists is usually based on just the single or few plants the original author found and not the maximum height it has ever grown in the wild.

Parodia magnifica is quoted as growing up to 30cm or more high, but the same criteria for cultivated plants apply as above. The New Cactus Lexicon says "rarely clumping" but most plants I see in collections over a certain size are freely clumping.
