Globose to short-cylindric, 7 to 15 cm. high, flat-topped; tubercles in as many as 34 rows, thickly set, full of milk which freely flows when pricked or cut; radial spines 8 to 10, small, white; central spines 4, 3 about twice as long as the radial ones, the other much elongated, 6 to 7 cm. long; flowers to 2 cm. long, appearing in 2 or 3 rows, very abundant; inner perianth-segments dark red, 12 mm. long; stigma-lobes 4 or 5, greenish; fruit red, 2 to cm. long. Type locality: Mexico. According to Hemsley, Karwinsky's plant, which is the type, came from Ixmiquilpan and San Pedro Nolasco at about 6,000 feet altitude. Distribution: Highlands of southern central Mexico. This species is characterized by the long, erect, central spines which overtop the plant in the wild state; in cultivation these elongated spines do not always occur. The species is common in cultivation; in collections it is usually known as Mammillaria Fig. 89.—Neomammillaria mystax. 90.—Neomammillaria petterssonii. Mammillaria krauseana, a name from Gruson's Catalogue, is cited by Schumann (Gesamtb. Kakteen 595. 1898) as a synonym of M. mutabilis. Mammillaria meschalacantha Hortus (Salm-Dyck, Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1844. 10. 1845), according to the Index Kewensis, is a misspelling for M. maschalacantha. Mammillaria maschalacantha dolichacantha Monville was given as a doubtful synonym of M. maschalacantha by Labouret (Monogr. Cact. 106. 1853). Mammillaria mutabilis autumnalis (Monats
