Ebnerella aurihamata (Ebnerella aurihamata)
Description
Mammillaria aurihamata is a softish bodied plant that, as the name implies, has golden yellow hooked central spines, although the white radial spines tend to lighten the colour, and is particularly attractive at all times of the year. The blossoms are small, yellowish white and are followed by red fruits. It grows vigorously, offsets freely, and makes an impressive mound of heads when quite young. Mammillaria aurihamata is included by Hunt and al. within (as a synonym of) Mammillaria crinita subsp. leucantha, suggesting that there is not really a fundamental difference between the two.
