Coryphantha ID

Post by Jura »

Hey All,

Just wondering if anyone could confirm I'd on this coryphantha.

I'm torn between radians, compacta and conifera.

Any positive id would be really appreciated!

Coryphanta compacta in my opinion. A view from the side would help. Apparently compacta has a globose stem and cornifera could be globose as well as ovoid.

Coryphantha compacta is a small plant. If this one gets over 6 cm thick this would be rather C. radians that is a synonym of C. cornifera.
If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
