Re: mammilaria to ID plz

Hi Tina,
The first names that come to my mind when I look at this picture are M. monancistracantha, M. nana or M. trichacantha.
It is not easy to identify the plant in its current state, but this is my opinion.

Peter.

Re: Cacti identification thread

Hi Mat,
I think 'your Echinocactus grusonii' is in fact a young Ferocactus schwarzii !!
Don't know about the Melocactus (too small), but certainly not ferreophilus. That one is very rare and not seen in the commercial circuit.

Re: Cacti identification thread

Hi Mat,
To me your Mammillaria seems to be Mammillaria mammillaris (old name M. simplex).
When it flowers, it should have small creamy flowers. The fruits are often more attractive then the flowers.

Re: Eriosyce sp.

Hoi Christer,
I would say its Pyrrhocactus pilispinus (south of Barquito). These are plants with week short hairy spines and white flowers. Today they all 'belong' to Eriosyce calderana.
What do you think it is?
Peter.

Hoi Jennifer, Pic. 9 Coryphantha, of the species name I'm not sure. Pic. 8 Gymnocalycium Pic. 7 Mammillaria (could be neapensis, knippeliana, or ..., to small to be sure) Pic. 6 Echinocereus, possibly viridiflorus. Pic. 4 & 5 Mammillaria bocasana var. roseiflora (left) and Mammillaria kunzeana (...

Re: Help with identification please.

Hi Russell,
Picture 5-6 is indeed Turbinicarpus nikolae.
Picture 7-8-9 is NOT Arrojadoa marylanae.
To me it looks like Siccobaccatus estevesii, also known as Micranthocereus estevesii.

Re: more help with IDs, please?

JonNo, Your Mammillaria is probably a form of Mammillaria albilanata subsp. albilanata (synonyms are: M. fuauxiana, M. igualensis, M. igualensis var. palmillensis) or Mammillaria albilanata subsp. oaxacana (synonyms are: M. ignota, M. lanigera, M. lanigera var. juxtlahuacensis, M. monticola, M. nour...
