Parodia penicilliata and Mammilaria polythele ?

Post by Mrs.Green »

The first one I am pretty certain is Parodia penicillata but the second one..the closest I have come is M.polythele, who seems to be pretty variable. Have been looking at Coryphantas too but don’t think it is. Speaking of Coryphantas..not all Coryphantas have the grove on tubercles as I understand or they can be quite variable in size ( not covering the whole tubercle? A good artivle on this subject with good photos would be great, if anyone have a link 🙂

Thanks a lot Anttisepp! :D Nivosa certainly fits, as the spines are snow white 🙂
