Salm-Dyck (Cact. Hort. Dyck. 1849. 15. 1850) mentions MammiUaria kewensis var.

Some of the illustrations here cited do not correspond very well with the original 

 description. This species is listed by Schumann with those unknown to him, and it is 

 known to us only from descriptions and illustrations. 



MammiUaria polygona Zuccarini (Pfeiffer, Enum. Cact. 17. 1837) is referred here but 

 it was never described. Salm-Dyck afterwards used the name for a very different plant. 



MammiUaria jalappensis and M. anisacantha are referred by Pfeiffer (Enum. Cact. 

 17. 1837) as synonyms of M. subpolyedra.
