Pediocactus (plains cactus). Cactaceae. Globular, resembling in habit and flower the so-called mammil- larias: fls. small, with a rather indefinite funnel-shaped tube; petals pinkish, broad; sepals smaller than the petals and duller in color; bracts on corolla-tube few; stamens numerous; ovary green, nearly globular, usually without bracts (rarely 1, otherwise naked), apex with a truncate or depressed scar left by the deciduous corolla: fr. dry, greenish, bursting irregularly; seeds dull black, tuberculate, keeled on the back, with a large sub-basal hilum. The fl. originates just above the spine areole on the very young tubercles, and therefore this genus belongs to the Echinocactus type rather than to the so-called mammillarias. The seeds are also of the Echinocactus type, CH
