I just purchased two new cactus plants and I need confirmation on the names that I think they are.
#1 Lobivia pampana #2 Mammilaria bocasana v multilanata
Thank you for your help.

Re: Help with the names
Mamm. is not multilanata, and looking at flower remains I'd say is not bocasana either

I love the spines on the first one.
Re: Help with the names
The lobivia could be pampana, although the ribs don't look quite right, looking more like backebergii ssp wrightiana. Both have very distinctive flowers which I expect it's old enough to produce.

Not sure what that would be if not Mammillaria bocasana. Too hairy for M. crinita. Not hairy enough for M. guelzowiana. Any other possibles?

I say it is just guelzowiana. They flower waltut-sized, and I think I've got couple plants with exactly same spine color

You're in luck if it is. Great flowers and plenty of them.vlani wrote:I say it is just guelzowiana. They flower waltut-sized, and I think I've got couple plants with exactly same spine color

I will post a picture when it has flowers. Thank you all for the help. I like the spines on the first one also.
