| Maybe Finger Cactus - Mammillaria longimamma Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost President: Orchid Society of Northern Nevada Webmaster: osnnv.org |

| Later wiew maybe? Could be from dolichotele subgenus. |

| Are you agreeing or disagreeing? Dolichothele longimamma is a synonym for Mammillaria longimamma.

| Agree on the subgenus, disagree on species. Kind of too skinny and frail and wimpy to be that one.Decipens or mariner- lapostollei or something. Spines are not convincing enough for me.... |

| It came to me as Dolichothele camptotricha (which didn't seem right) so I was also thinking decipiens. Maybe we need to wait a while to know. |

| camptotricha is a ssp. of decipiens I think, these days. mammillarias.net is a pretty good resource when it comes to Mammillarias... It is what it is! |

Thank you everyone for your input. I guess I should have gone with the name it came with, then. (In its modern form.) I had a big clump of camptotricha for years (it rotted rather unexpectedly) but the resemblance is not so obvious with this juvenile. Daisy, your picture shows the ontogeny of the spines in a way that makes a connection for me. And that is a really useful site, Thijs.  Did I just use the word ontogeny in a sentence?  |

| I was thinking Mammillaria longimamma myself. |

| I think longimamma has a lot more spines compared to this one, but that is definitely not always definitive. It is what it is! |

Regarding other potential IDs, I think the question will be simpler when the plant grows up. Right now it doesn't have the adult number of spines, I think. And the tubercles probably seem more pronounced than they will be with time. The flower color will be definitive with respect to decipiens vs. longimamma (white vs. yellow) so I suspect everything will become much clearer once the plant becomes sexually mature.  |

Flowers came early... looks more and more like the ID of M. decipiens was correct. Reference images here... http://www.mammillarias.net/ph... |
