Mammillaria "CATERPINCY "
(Above in the square pot) and Mammillaria painteri forma mostruosa
(Below in the round pot) is a monstrose, this are two old very similar cultivar
with really weird shapes
characterized by reduced or absent
spines, free
branching, and
small pink
flower. Description: It is a free
branching cultivar that forms large low
clusters of soft textured green
stems, some only a few centimeters across. Without or with very few
thin
hairy
spines a the tubercles tip. The flowers are small and pink.
Remarks: Mammillaria cv. CATERPINCY
looks almost identical to
Mammillaria crinita ssp. crinita "mostruosa"
we do not exclude that the two different named cultivar are the same.
