All of the pix look beautiful, but those of us of a certain age will remember that at one time all of these plants in collections were almost invariably labelled as Normanbokea valdeziana.
I'm sure that we all nowadays accept it to be a Turbinicarpus. But I would hate to lose all memory of the old name.....

Thanks for the memory Acid John
Those were the days..........
Of course, it was never accepted by most of us, at any time, to be a Pelecyphora!!

Some of our plants have a fascinating label history.
