Mammillaria tuberculosa, Engelm. (M. trobiliformis, Scheer). Ovate or cylindric. rather slender, somewhat dry of texture, the spines failing from the older tubercles, leaving them as dry, corky protuberances: tubercles short-ovate from a broad base; axils densely woolly: radial spines 20-30, slender, rigid, white; centrals 5-9, stouter, purplish above, the upper longer, erect, the lowest horizontal or deflexed: fls. 1 in. diam., pale purple: fr. ¾ in. long, red, with a conical cap formed of the withered remains of the fl.; seeds brown. Texas.—Four varieties of M. tuberculosa, vars. caespitilia, durispina, pubescens, and rufispina, which have been distributed in European collections, doubtless belong here.
