Description
This is a strange monstrous cactus cultivar that forms very rubbery and squishy green and purple glob. It is supposed to be a mutation that formed on a normal {{Mammillaria bocasanaSN|8970]]SN|8970]]}}, but its true self is controversial. This cultivar shows many growing variations, with different monstrous shapes. The plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus. Rarely a spine or a hair. It may enlarge to form low, massive clusteres.
Stem
Smooth, lumpy, rubbery-textured (much like a tumour), subtly crested, green and pink only a few centimetres across.
