M. sp. AFB

Hello, everyone!

Perhaps someone has information on these cacti?
I'm a little behind the times.

Hi Vladimir,

On the website of the German AfM you can find a bit more info on the plants of Andreas Berthold (AFB-numbers). See the 'overall' seed list at http://www.mammillaria.eu/Shop

There you can see that AFB 15-108 is from Mineral de Pozos. Your plant looks a lot like M. perbella, which grows in the Pozos region.
AFB 15-130 is form northwest of El Delgado, Nuevo León. Your plant looks like a form of M. melanocentra, but in the Delgado region you might expect transition forms to heyderi/meiacantha.
AFB 15-150 is from west of Villa Diaz Ordaz, Oaxaca, and the name given is M. geminata var. conzattii, which seems correct to me, although others would still call it M. karwinskiana.

I never ordered AFB-numbers from the Geramn AfM seed list, because often no clue was given as to what plant belonged to an AFB-number.

Wolter.

Thank you very much, Wolter!
I need these kinds of clues.
Thanks again!
