Stem spherical, cylindrical up to 12 cm in height and 8 cm in diameter, blue-green, slightly bushy; conical nipples; aksily white woolen, fine-needle: radial spines 24 - 30,length of 6 - 8 mm central spines 4 - 6, of 8 - 14 mm, the bottom 3 cm, these spikes are light yellow to dark yellow with brown tips, flowers 11 mm, pink, red fruit . Genus Mammillaria Haw . - Mammillaria - the most numerous genus of the family Cactaceae . It has 350 species and 98 varieties . Rod is divided into 3 sections hydor-hilum - withwatery juice, galaktos-chylos - with milky juice and hydro sub-chymos, whose sap is available only in the central vessels . Depending on the shape of the nipple, stem and thorns, and the magnitude of flowers and other signs of these sections are divided into more pas sub groups and subgroups. Appearance Mammillaria, their flowers, thorns and pubescence unusually varied . A distinctive feature of the genus is the lack of edges, instead of which the stem of the plant is covered with papillae, and the special structure of the areola: it is divided into two parts - one carrying the spikes, is at the end of the papilla, the other - and vegetative - is in aksile (the depression between the papillae) . The flowers appear from last year's axillaaround the top . After flowering, the fruit is formed immediately, it gradually emerges from the axilla . Plant of the genus Mammillaria culture mostly unpretentious . In the summer they need moisture and the sun (with shading from strong heat), in the winter - cold and dry content at + 8, + 10 ° . Some authors (Pazhout, etc. . . ) Identify groups Mammillariaon the general background that creates a coating of stem pubescence . very beautiful white (M . bocasana, M . kandnda, M . plumosa and M . hahniana) and yellow Mamillaria (M . elongata especially its kind Stella-aurate, M . Pringles, M . goal-ziana and others), pubescence which hairs, spines and bristles often completely covers the buds on the stem and looksvery impressive . White Mamillaria grow in mountainous areas of central and northern Mexico on limestone and chalk cliffs . They no other cacti need light and sun and requires the addition of lime to the soil .     ,
