Post by CactusInteruptus »

Please help on the first three pics. Is this a Coryphantha or a Mammillaria. Also, the fourth pic is a Mammillaria but do not know the species. Thanks in advance 😊

Yes, the first plant appears to be a Coryphantha.

Some clones of elephantidens seem to produce lots of pups for no apparent reason...

Magdanag umaga!
Coyphantha usually are solitary and looks like yours is pupping like crazy. I though maybe C. reduncispina except for that. I did not see the classic Coryphantha groove on the top of the tubercle, but that is no proof. You may just have to wait for flowers...
