It was introduced much before i was born and remained due to its high tolerance of the cold and wet conditions.

Here its the only locally mass produced succulent plant( if you dont count yucca elephatnipensis because its a tropical yucca, not a thick leaved desert one)

The Mammillaria looks like what I knew as Mammillaria wildii, often lumped into Mammillaria crinita there days.

M. wildii was my immediate thought also. I don't see them over here at all now, but if they've been lumped with crinita perhaps the name has disappeared and people no longer grow them much.
