I like the M. morentiniana. Lovely contrast of the red centrals with white radials.
please, no more crinita
Hah!

Don't worry somebody will inevitably dump many into synonymy!

I am happy with my M. zeilmanniana plants. No need to collect more similar species.
But Mexicans are free to discover as many new species as they can down there.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.

Probably the last really distinct new Mammillaria described was Mammillaria breviplumosa.

Pictures enlarge if clicked on.

They are already available, I saw them being offered for the first time (that I know of) last autumn through the Czech seed sellers. But you have to pay for it. I suspect the price will remain high for quite some years...

Mammillaria breviplumosa looks like Mammillaria sanchez-mejoradae which grows slow and somewhat hard to propagate . It is a nice looking little plant

Yes I lost my grafted Mammillaria sanchez-mejoradae below. As you say its a very attractive plant. M. breviplumosa looks a lot denser spined though and presumably the spines are plumose = feather like?
