Thanks for the link Walter, but I was looking throught some old Jara Dohanlik seed lists last night and found MK 9.18b listed has 'formosa, ritteriana form. Very compact with strong central spines '. Location given has Santa Rita, SLP.
The description for chionocephala / ritteriana calls for 2 -4 white centrals spines, usually tipped brown, so I am going to go with this.
Thanks, Mark.
