. The Cactaceae : descriptions and illustrations of plants of the cactus family. . Fig. I 79a.—Neoraainmillaria occidentalis. Type locality: Mexico. Distribution: Mexico, but range unknown. We have had this plant in cultivation for a number of years. It is a very attractive plant, the top being covered by a mass of white hairs which come from the closely set young tubercles. Mammillaria cordigera Heese resembles this species very much in its spines and form, but is described as with grooved tubercles, which would exclude it from this genus (see page 50).

Illustration: Monatsschr. Kakteenk. 20: 151, as Mammillaria bombycina. Plate XV, figure i, shows a plant received by Dr. Rose from M. de Laet in 1910 and probably from the type collection. Figure 178 is from a photograph of another plant from the same collection. 143. Neomammillaria occidentalis sp. nov. Cespitose, the branches slender, cylindric, 10 cm. high, densely spiny; radial spines about 12, yellowish, spreading; central spines 4 or 5, reddish or brown, one of them longer and hooked; flowers small, i cm. long, pink; stigma-lobes 9, slender; fruit said to be red. Collected by Dr. B. Palmer near Manzanillo, Colima, Mexico, December 1890 (No. 1053, type) and again from the same locality by Stephen E. Aguirre, American Vice- Consul-in-Charge, October 1922. Dr. Palmer's field notes say:. 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.
