Original Description: Synopsis of the Cactaceae of the Territory of the United States and Adjacent Regions
p.14 - George Englemann (1856)Simple, depressed-globose, stem flattened, flattened tubercles coming out of a flattened base, smooth outside and below, and above with a hairy central furrow and hairless lateral furrows divided deeply into four parts, tubercles 4 angled, and with sideways furrows having many shallow divisions; Spineless; with rosy central flowers coming out of long silky hairs; with egg-shaped green berries hidden in dense wool; with black tuberculate seeds.
On the limestone hills, near the junction of the Pecos with the Rio Grande : flowers October. Heads 2-4 1/2 inches in diameter; tubercles 6-10 lines long (12-20 mm), and a little less broad; central longitudinal groove in the very young ones bearing dense silky wool over half an inch long, which by age becomes dirty and matted, and finally disappears entirely in the very old ones. The lower end of the groove, which only extends down as far as the rough or verrucose part of the tubercle goes (about two thirds downward), bears the flower and fruit, very much like the floriferous areola of the last-mentioned species [Mammillaria macromeris]. Flower about one inch long and wide. Seed very roughly tuberculated, different from that of any other Mamillaria examined by me, but quite similar to that of other Anhalonia. View Latin Description
