I found this little pot in my greenhouse without the label (I think it got lost).
Could anybody help me to Id this cacti ?
Thanks in advance.

It looks a lot like a Mammillaria elongota.
But, it does have what appear to be unique characteristics.
I wonder if it may be a cross of some kind.

Mammillaria but not M. elongata. This would be M. mazatlanensis or something similar.

Yes, M. mazatlanensis is the name we've all fallen back on for these and for good reason. It seems that within the last year or so they went from unseen to ubiquitous overnight.

Ok, I think it's the mazatlanensis it's very similar, I already have the elongata and it's quite different. Thanks to all.
