| Good Question! Are you sure it is a Mammillaria in the first place. |

| A clerk told me that it is a Mammillaria, but he don't know its name. |

| I have two suggestions:
First, could it be a form of M. decipiens, with no central spines?
Second, could it be Escobaria vivipara, maybe v. bisbeeana?
Has it flowered yet?
The second is my preferred answer, but I really am not sure. _________________ Chris43, moderator

| I am not sure, too. There are two features of it. Maybe that will help you. 1.There are some fine hairs on its sticks. 2.Its buds are white. |

| With white buds, it isn't an Escobaria, so I was wrong with that suggestion. BUT I still think that it might be a form of M. decipiens although it doesn't match precisely the description for ssp. albescens. The description of this specifies 3 to 5 radial spines. This plant has rather more!

| I to was thinking along the lines of Escobaria, something like missouriensis ( Neobesseya ). I would not rule it out yet, even with the flower buds which are looking white at the momment. Its still early days yet. |

| I don't believe that it is M.decipiens. It hasn't pubescens spines. Please compare with M.picta there are forms without centrals. |

| Yes, I would also vote for M. picta, and to be more precise M. picta ssp. viereckii. Attached is a photo of a plant that I found in 2009 near Balneario de Nogales, somewhat east of Jaumave in the state of Tamaulipas. Wolter. | |
