Mammillaria mazatlanensis fa occidentalis MG 818

Mammillaria mazatlanensis fa occidentalis MG 818 from Barra de Navidad, Colima

This and californica are similar when young but give them a few years. M. mazatlanensis offsets profusely. I must correct also the locality Ugo. Barra de Navidad is in Jalisco not in Colima, although very close. I have seen this at Melaque which is the far side of Barra de Navidad, less than 4 km and also at Chamela further along the cost. It grows near the edge of the water.

Thanks for the info, Amante. You can see that even MG can be wrong with location data.
