Help with 3 new cacti please

Post by Kamos »

#1
Could this be a Melocactus? It's about 2 inch diameter.

The first one is a Melocactus. Not sure which species, or if you can even tell before the cephalium.

Second is a Mammillaria, I think M. magnimamma.

Not sure on the third. Sort of reminds me of Notocactus but that is just a wild guess.

#1 looks like a Melo to me, too

#2 is awfully wooly for M. magnimamma - Mammillaria chionocephala?

#3 I think you got it - Parodia erubescens / Notocactus schlosseri.
