Mammillaria capensis

Beautiful specimen of Mammillaria with a particular appearance. It has a globose stem that tends to become cylindrical and is green in colour. It has numerous tubercles above which are downy areoles. Its spines protrude from the areoles and are radial and central: the radials are short, thin and yellowish in colour. The central ones are longer, darker and hooked. The flowers bloom at the apex of the stem and are creamy white in colour.
