DescriptionEdit description
Central Spines
Bright orange and yellow, flexible with a slightly bent tip, but not hooked. They are also a little flat and not pungent.
Description
What is this plant? This rare and unusual cactus was labelled as an improbable but stricking hybrid between a Dolichothele longimammaSN|11262]]SN|11262]] and Mammillaria spinosissima cv. Un Pico, however the plant is presumably a monstrous form of Mammillaria of an unknown Mammillaria species.
Roots
Tuberose, juicy.
Flowers
Pink in a ring around the crown. They usually fail to open completely.
Ribs
Vertical or spiralling formed by a row of elongated tubercles.
Stem
4 to 5cm wide, up to 4 cm tall, flattened and soft. The stem branches abundantly from the base and forms soon large mats.
Radial Spines
Very few (often absent) glassy white, bristly.
