Hi,

We need at Xerophilia few pictures of Mammillaria mainiae in habitat (illustration for an article planned for our June issue) - we will greatly appreciate your help! Plants in habitat, maybe a flowering plant, generic aspect of habitat, etc. We don't need huge amounts of pictures - four or five are just enough.

Of course, authors will be credited accordingly.

Please email at eduart.zimer@xerophilia.ro or xerophilia@xerophilia.ro

Many thanks,
Eduart
