Coryphantha

A cactus with a unique look! Blue-green "elephant skin" tubercles and tusk-like spines, topped with yellow blooms. The "prolifera" form is a burst of life: it pups abundantly, creating dense clumps quickly.

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.

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

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

Exceptionally tough, featuring large woolly beige areoles, creamy radial spines, and striking brick-red centrals. Lovely! Fully winter hardy (winterhart).

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

Coryphantha scolymoides has pale green stems, with tubercles ascending like tiles, spines numerous, radials ones flesh-coloured with a single central spine recurved, black, grey at the base. Flowers large, yellow with read throat.

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.

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.

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

Striking plants featuring elongated areoles and spines aligned in a comb-like pattern.

A slow-growing botanical treasure, cloaked in dense white-to-yellow radial spines. Central spines, brown in color, appear only several years after germination, culminating in a dramatic display. The vivid yellow flowering is truly spectacular.

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.
