Xerophyte

Description

This strange Mammillaria makes a nice and tangled cluster of fine crests. Brownish-green or purple in full sun exposure with fine soft white spines.

Note

Sometime "Yokan" revert to the type producing some normal shoots. Which are not monstrous at all! And also some classical green Mammillaria compressa forma cristata. But all this very different forms are the same plant! They are epigenetic variation not genetic mutant!
