Not sure your first is m.chionocephala

I also have my doubts about the ID of that plant in the first photo (M. chionocephala Rog s.n.).

Wolter.

First of all grazie for the compliment Maurillio, I appreciate and keep it going.
And thanks to delandmo and Wolter for correcting this, I started a new topic to identify the chionocephala which is none.

BONUS:

m. esseriana is referred to m. compressa subsp. compressa.

Hi Maurizio,

There is not much I know about this mysterious plant, in the Mammillaria Handbook (Craig) I rode that that the german Cactus collector Ferdinand Schmoll (1879-1950) has collected this plant in Chiapas. But i talked with Wolfgang Plein last year when I visited his collection about this plant. He is  specialized in the Scrippsiana-Group, he told me that Lau was the only one who has found this plant in Habitat proven his fieldlist. However Laus locality description isn't particulary accurate, it says: in the dry areas of the entire Sierra Madre del Sur, under low bushes. But the Sierra Madre del Sur stretches over almost the entire southern coast of Chiapas and up north until south of Cd. Oaxaca. Thats a very big area to look after a plant, I can't share the view of Hunt to lump it into Mam. compressa, I guess it is more close to Mam. scrippsiana, but I think it should not be subordinated some where until the population is rediscovered.

And here a Repro of the description by Craig:

Thank you Jonathan.
