ID of unknown plant

Post by teo »

I saw this plant in a garden centre today. My first guess would be Parodia mammulosus ssp. submammulosa - but the tubercles looks more 'angular' than usual for that species.

Definitely a Mammillaria, probably one of the M. compressa, M. magnimamma group. Probably M. magnimamma.

M. magnimamma looks absolutely right - funny, I never even considered a mammillaria for this one :-)
