NEOMAMMILLARIA. 125 
Mammillaria granulata Meinshausen (Wochenschr. Gartn. Pflanz. 1: 264. 1858; 
Cactus granulatus Kuntze, Rev. Gen. Pl. 1: 260. 1891) was described without the flowers 
and fruit being known and it has never been identified. Meinshausen says that it has the 
habit of M. pusilla, but he considered it different otherwise. 
Cactus stellaris was given by Haworth (Suppl. Pl. Succ. 72. 1819) instead of C. stellatus 
Willdenow. 
Mammillaria pusilla cristata (Schelle, Handb. Kakteenk. 249. 1907) is probably only a 
form.
