0 Philocacti Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 M.painterilooks more like it IMO. polythele inermis lacks the white tufts on the areols and the structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BedOSpines Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 M.painterilooks more like it IMO. polythele inermis lacks the white tufts on the areols and the structure.I thought this too but seen a few pics of younger looking ones kinda changed my mind, what you think? http://s8.photobucket.com/user/cactuspolecat/media/Cacti/Mammillaria/Mammillaria_polythele_nuda_1208_a.jpg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Guest Señor Corrochio Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 It seems to be a mass produced plant which makes it a much more likely candidate for one you'd pick up from a nursery, and there seems to be plenty of variation...

0 Philocacti Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 My Google images results were totally different, but the pics you post SJ look very similar to mine. And I agree, he probably picked it up from a nursery in Thailand. Thanks a lot guys. I appreciate your efforts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mutant Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) sab turning up to be quite the cactus forum for IDs even!maybe it was called monstrosa because it seems indeed to be an "inermis" (spineless) form of some "proper" species..
