Unknown Mammallaria, maybe a hybrid.

Post by C And D »

A friend gave me this plant to root and propagate.
It was grafted, but the stock was cut off with only a stub left.
He bought it online from Asia.

Think it is similar/variant of Arizona Snowcap. See: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ ... 04155.html

This looks more like Mammillaria gracilis cv. Oruga. Arizona Snowcap has longer spines.

Yes - cv. Oruga was the variant name I was looking for (but could not remember :-) )
