Mamillaeia (Coeyphantha) ^vgYiPAEA, Haworth, Jg^m. in Watson's 
J Bot. Jung’s Expl. 117.—A commoiUplant on the Western-plains from the 
■ ; Missouri to Texas, extending in the mountain regions as far west as Arizona 
* ,j and South Utah, the large, deep rose-colored or purple flowers, with fringed 
sepals and lance-linear, acuminate petals, green, .oval- berries, with light 
! ; brown, pitted seeds, readily distinguish the species. The form of- the plains 
| is lower and often densely cespitose-spreading; the mountain plant is often 
% simple and larger. The largest form, which comes from Arizona, I had at 
one time distinguished as M. Arizonica, but must now consider it as only a 
gigantic vivipara, 3-5' high, 4' in diameter, with spines often over V long 
on rather broad and spreading tubercles. Rothroek, 1874, (203), is a smaller 
form, from Camp Apache, Ariz.
