Coryphantha

Cumarinia odorata was described as Coryphantha odorata by Bödeker in 1930, transferred into the genus Neobessaya by Werdermann and thence to the new genus Cumarinia by Knuth which, in turn, was reduced to a sub-genus of Neolloydia by Backeberg in 1942.

Coryphantha palmeri is a globose cactus with usually one stout hooked central spine. It is one of those Coryphanthas which pass a purely radial-spined long youth stage. After several years they develop the central spines. It is extremely variable.

Coryphantha magentae is similar to Coryphantha echinus, with the exception of magenta (Hence the name) flowers and slightly different skin and spination colour. Flowers colour is ranging from pink to rich magenta-red.

Fingerlike body covered in short white spines, huge tuber. Nice pink flowers in ring near top.

Mixed Coryphantha species grown from seed. Very nice selection.

Irregular growth with both bare areoles and spiny areoles in alternating bands.

Variety with a round, dark green body and stiff, pectinate spines. It produces large yellow flowers with red anthers. A truly captivating plant.

Round dark green body, stiff pectinate spines, large yellow flowers with red anthers, very pretty.

Round dark green body, whitish radial spines, darker hooked central spine, large yellow flower. In culture Coryphantha pallida is without problems and regularly shows its large pale yellow flowers.

Coryphantha kracikii is a solitary stemmed cactus densely covered with impressive spines and is one of the most beautiful coryphanthas especially as a young plant.

Slow-growing globose-flattened cactus that clusters readily, featuring thickened rootstock. Las Tablas populations exhibit enhanced spination (longer, more numerous spines). Flowers freely with pale cream blossoms.

Plant with round, dark green stems, white-yellow radial spines, and a dark, arched central spine. Large, glossy yellow flowers.

Named for its striking red glands on each tubercle, Coryphantha glanduligera undergoes a style change as it grows: youngsters sport only radial spines, while adults may flaunt a longer yellow central spine (though not always!).

Massive tubercles bearing formidable fang-like spines - spreading unevenly, curved, and appressed (never upright).  Noticeably lacks central spines. Produces showy yellow flowers.

Compact grower with stunning, hook-like central spines in warm mahogany hues. While juveniles show only radial spines, patience rewards you with its signature curved spines - typically appearing in years 3-5 and improving with each season.

Globular cactus with pronounced elongated tubercles. White-yellow radial spines contrast with a prominent black central spine. Produces large yellow flowers.

Dark green body with prominent tubercles, comb-like radial spines, a sturdier and darker central spine, and large yellow flowers.

Juvenile plants wear a smooth "armor" of short, white flattened spines. At maturity, dark central spines erupt, creating a striking before/after effect. The years-long transformation rewards patient growers with a true botanical spectacle.

Juvenile plants feature only short, curved white-beige radial spines. Maturity brings three dramatic arched central spines - steel-gray with jet-black tips (the downward-pointing one most commanding). Among the most majestic cactus armaments.
