Mammillaria criniformis must be very different, for it has only 8 to 10 radial spines and one central spine, and this yellow. The two varieties also may belong elsewhere; in fact, the variety rosea has been referred to Alammillaria decipiens, Mammillaria ancistrata Schelhase (Salm-Dyck, Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1844. 8. 1845). given as a s3Tionym of ilf. ancistroides Lemaire, is referred here by Schumann, perhaps Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Britton, Nathaniel Lord, 1859-1934; Rose, J.
