Globose or becoming short-cylindric, 6 cm. high; tubercles milky, in 26 rows, bluish green, very woolly in axils when young; spine-areoles very woolly at first; radial spines 8 to 10, slender, pale with reddish tips; central spines generally 2, a little longer than radials, brown throughout, slightly divergent; flowers borne near top of plant but not in axils of youngest tubercles, about i cm. long, pinkish, with margins of perianth-segments paler; anthers pinkish; stigma-lobes about 6, recurved, cream-colored. Collected by Dr. Rose in the barranca of Guadalajara, Jalisco, in September 1903 (No. 871, type). The plant has flowered repeatedly in Washington since April 1906. Specimens were afterward collected near the same place by C. R. Orcutt. It is named in honor of E. W. Scripps, the founder of Science Service and The Scripps Institution for Biological Research of the University of California. Figure 78 is from a photograph of the type specimen. * This plate is labeled Mammillaria meionacantha, but described under M.
