White Mammillaria from Baja California which branches at the base, forming clumps to about 8 inches tall. The color comes from the spines and axillary wool, which obscure the pale green stems. Endemic to Baja California Sur, mainly along the Gulf coast, from Loreto to the northern Cape region, and various islands. Flowers are white or pinkish white.
