| MAMMILLARIA | ||
| There are so many different kinds of Mammillarias! Some are very easy to grow, those with hooked spines are a little more difficult. A shallow, smaller pot helps with the difficult ones. A little charcoal in the soil mix helps with the M. carmenae, M. plumosa and M. pennispinosa types. A little gravel in the soil mix helps with those species with a root body bigger than the head. Most appreciate regular water and a little shade in hot climates. Pilbeam's big book (The Cactus File Handbook #6) MAMMILLARIA is an absolutely beautiful reference. All the name changes are there. Superb color pictures of each species with culture notes. It's in alphabetic order with a full list of unused and old names. If you collect Mams. you have to have this book! | ||
| ALBICOMA | Lives up to its name. It looks like it's covered with short white hair. Stays small - use small pot. Nice 2" plants. | $4.50 |
| AUREILANATA | I just like this plant! The fat, tuberous root is bigger than the head. The head looks like it's covered with a cocoon of soft, spider-web like, white to yellow spines. The big pink flower pops out almost anytime of year. These 2½" plants are as about as big as they are going to get. Any perceived culture problems can be solved with gravel in the soil mix and a small pot. Do not over pot this plant! | $6.00 |
| CARMENAE | Soft, feather like sprays of gold spines. Super fat 3½" tall x 2½" wide golden balls. Selected for color. | $6.00 |

| HERNANDEZII | From Oaxaca, Mexico, this miniature, jewel of a plant is in great demand. It is full grown at one inch. It has neat little white "combs" on the end of the tubercles and a really big 2", scarlet flower. Do not push this plant! A small pot, gritty soil, and moderate amounts of water will do. It grows in short grass in shallow soil so some shade is needed. These plants are 1" in diameter. LIMITED. | $6.00 |
| HUITZILOPOCHTLI | Similar to M. crucigera in looks but much easier to grow. Young plants have extremely short spines laying against the body. Some plants will produce long black central spines when older. Nice, neat 2½" x 3" plants. | $4.50 |
| LAUII var. SUBDUCTA | Beautiful plant densely covered with short, stiff, bright gold spines. The flowers are deep pink. A little extra drainage in the soil mix is recommended along with some shade. 3"-3½" seed grown. | $5.50 |
| LONGIFLORA var. STAMPFERI | This is a soft bodied plant with larger (for a Mam.) flowers. It has a red hooked central surrounded by a spray of fine white radial spines. The flower is about 2" and rose-pink. Very pretty! 2½". LIMITED. | $5.00 |
| MAGNAMAMMA | Heavy plant. Big tubercles are tipped with stout yellow/white, reflexed spine. Flower is large for a Mam. and carmine-red. Hefty 3½"-4" plants | $6.00 (plus $2.00 surcharge) |
| MARKSIANA | Short, curved bright yellow spines on a light green body. Interesting with a yellow flower. Pretty 3"-3½" plants. | $5.00 |

| "MME. MARNIER" | This sport of M. camptotrica has shorter tubercles and short, thick, curled bright gold spines. Yellow flowers. A really beautiful plant! 3". | $5.50 |
| NAPINA | This true miniature plant is worth the effort to grow. It can be difficult if you treat it like other Mams. It doesn't offset and seeds are kept in internal pockets so seedlings are seldom available. The big contractile roots are the weak point. Don't damage them when repotting and use a very gritty soil and be careful when watering. The flowers are bigger than the plant and pink with a white throat. Mature apx. 1½" plants. LIMITED. | $7.50 |
| PENNISPINOSA | Unique plant with "feathers" on its spines. It is a small plant (though it will cluster when old) with a short red or yellow hooked central and lots of white radial spines. They all have feather-like filaments. The flowers are white. Cultural problems are few if you use up to ½ small gravel and charcoal in the soil mix. These plants are 2½" in diameter. LIMITED. | $7.00 |
| PERBELLA | Very, very short white spines hide the body of this very neat appearing plant. Stays small. Compact 3" plants. | $4.50 |
| PLUMOSA | Soft white, big and fluffy feather-like spines make this an all time favorite. This plant prefers a shallow pot and a little charcoal in the soil mix. Do not let it get dry in winter. Nice 3"+ large headed form. Offsetting. | $5.00 |

| SCRIPPSIANA (Lau 1249) | Small headed form with white spines and beautiful white wool "rings". Makes large, multiheaded specimen. Easy to grow. Very nice 3" offsetting. | $4.00 |
| SPINOSISSIMA | Great old favorite with its brick red bristly spines and carmine flower. (Spines have a better color if plant is given a little shade). Plants 4" tall and 3" wide. | $5.00 |
| THERESAE | This plant may never be bigger than your thumb but it is in great demand. Tiny pubescent spine clusters tip the long purple/red tubercles. The lilac/pink flower is 3 times the diameter of the plant. A tall, small pot, gritty soil and regular medium water solves most of the culture problems. LIMITED. | $9.00 |
| MELOCACTUS | ||
| Only the green body grows until this plant forms a cephalium. Then the green body stops growing. Only the cephalium grows taller each year. Before these plants develop a cephalium treat them like regular cacti. After they get their cephalium hold back the water to ¼ the amount in winter and keep them above 500F. | ||
| MATANZANUS | One of the smallest and easy to grow. Neat orange cephalium caps the globose green body. 3½" body with nice large cephalium. | $14.50 |
| VIOLACEUS | This is one of the mini-Melos. Full grown at about 3-4 inches. The cephalium is white with a few orange bristles. These plants have their cephalium (2"-2½") and are 4" in diameter. Nice clean plants. LIMITED. | $16.00 |
| NEOCHILENIA | ||
| Almost all the Neochilenias were moved to Neoporteria a few years ago. As most of the books still use the old name, we will use it here. If one doesn't work, look under the other. | ||
| FLOCCOSA | This miniature plant has a dark body and bristles with ½" black/grey spines set in clumps of white hair. Nice white topknot of hair too. Very pretty, unusual and interesting. Nice 4". LIMITED. | $5.00 |
| JUSSIEUI | Dramatic plant! Beautiful purple skin, curved light grey, strong spines, big "chins". Very eye catching. 3"-3½" plants. | $8.00 |
| NAPINA | This small plant has a body that looks like olive/purple velvet. The black appressed spines are so short they almost aren't there. 2" plants. | $5.00 |
| TALTALENSE | Small growing plant with beautiful intense pink flowers with a red stripe, almost black body and a frenzy of bundled, black, flexible spines. 4" x 4" plants. Selected for spines. LIMITED. | $6.00 |
| NOTOCACTUS | ||
| Probably the easiest, most satisfying group to grow. They flower like crazy if given enough water and stay bright and happy if given a little shade. Some species have been moved into Parodia (??). | ||
| LENINGHAUSII | Many tiny ribs edged with soft, short, very gold spines. An oldie but goody! Bright 4" tall x 2½" wide plants. | $4.25 |
| MAGNIFICUS | Blue body with soft, short, gold spines and white wool edging the ribs. Lives up to its name. Fat 4" seed grown. | $5.00 |

| OPUNTIA | ||
| INVICTA | A fiercely, thick, triangular spined plant from Baja California. The most heavily armed of all Opuntias. New spines are bright red. RC. LIMITED. | $6.50 |
| PYCNACANTHA var. MARGARITANA | Handsome, rare and slow growing species from St. Margarita Island in Baja California. Pads are densely covered with short, stiff reddish spines. Flower is bright sulfur yellow. Unrooted pad. | $4.00 |
| OREOCEREUS | ||
| HENDRIKSENIANUS var. DENSILANATUS | This is the heavy, thick form with much more long, dense white hair than the normal form. Produces long gold central spines when older. Tube shaped flower is either red or orange. Nice large plants. Very chubby 8" tall by 2½" wide plants. | $12.00 |
| TROLLII | Very white wool covers the fat body of the plant and stiff red spines. Nice young 3" plants. | $3.50 |

| LAUII | Very handsome plant with big white aeroles and sprays of white and red spines. The flower is bright red. These plants are 3½"-4" in diameter. | $7.00 |
| REBUTIA | ||
| We know the European botanists are moving the names REBUTIA - SULCOREBUTIA - WEINGARTIA around at a rather alarming rate. Until they come to some rational (??) conclusion we are using the names you can find in books printed to date. A good reference is by John Pilbeam, "The Cactus File Handbook #2 - Rebutia". An easy group to grow if you keep them growing! A brown crust will creep up from the base of the plant if they do not receive enough water to grow, or are kept in a too hot and sunny location. The two inch bright flowers are well worth the effort to grow these small plants. | ||
| ALBIPILOSA | Body of plant is covered with long, soft, very dense, snow white spines. Beautiful 3" x 3" plants. | $5.50 |
| "EOS" | (Sometimes combined with R. pygmaea.) - Nice little thumb sized plant. Body is brownish-green with tiny pale yellow spines that turn black with age. The 2" flowers are an unusual pink color. Nice 2" plants. | $5.00 |
| FABRISII Pendant form | An unusual hanging plant unlike normal Rebutias. Clusters of elongated stems, sporting bright yellow flowers. Very nice. 3" offsetting. | $4.00 |
| "HAAGEI" | (Sometimes combined with R. pygmaea.) - Also thumb shaped but produces offsets like crazy. The body is bright green with purple under the tubercles. The very tiny spines are white. The flower is a strange frosty, pale salmon color. 3½"-4" clumping plants. | $8.00 |
| KIESLINGII | One of the large body Rebutias. Densely covered with a combination of fox red and gold spines. Flower should be red/orange. Nice 3" plants. | $6.00 |
| MARSONERI | One of the large growing Rebutias. Pale green body and short rust colored spined. Flower is yellow or pink. Nice 3½" offsetting plants. | $5.00 |

| SULCOREBUTIA | ||
| (See note under REBUTIA). As easy to grow as Rebutias but the large roots prefer a larger pot and a little more light. The roots are often larger than the plant body. John Pilbeam's book "Sulcorebutia and Weingartia" is an excellent reference with beautiful pictures of each species. He also makes some sense out of the name shuffling going on now. | ||
