MAMILLARIA DEALBATA 
CORYPHANTHA 
This genus differs from Mamillaria in having 
grooved tubercles (nipples) and flowers borne at 
the base of the young tubercles and, in general, 
having much larger flowers. The fruits are green, 
very mucilaginous; seeds mostly large and always 
brown. 
Culture. Same as Mamillaria but often larger pots are 
required as many have long, thick tap-roots. If roots be- 
come very large they may be cut back to within an inch or 
so of the plant base, the plant dried a couple of weeks 
and rerooted. Generally they like a sunny location. They 
bloom quite freely during summer.
