Cochemeias are an interesting group re¬ 
lated to the Mamillarias. They form 
large clusters of tall heads in the fash¬

flowers are shaped like those of the 
Christmas Cactus. Setispina and Mari- 
tima are only to be obtained by long 
burro trips into desolate country.

been catalogued in the United States.
