Mamillaria ID please

Post by wuness »

This is probably a pretty tall order considering the size and variety of the genus (not to mention the quality of the photo), but can anyone give me a possible ID for this plant. Thanks

Take a look at Escobaria missouriensis. I think that is it.

Thanks for your ideas guys. For now I'm going with Mammillaria voburnensis. My plant differs from descriptions and images I've seen of Escobaria missouriensis in that my plant has a more narrow funnel-shaped flower, in having dense wool between the tubercles, and in having newly formed brown spines fading to white in time.
