Named for the guy that discovered it, this unusual odd spineless mutant plant had scientists baffled for quite some time before it revealed its true self!

Description: It forms large low clusters of soft rubbery textured green and pink stems, some only a few centimeters across and plant looks more like some non-cactus succulent than a cactus.. Rarely a spine or a hair, monstrose or crested flowers. Sometimes will have a normal "patch" and remain mostly monstrose... The shows many growing variations with different crested and monstrose shapes.

Cultivation: Mammillaria bocasana "Fred" grows well on its own roots. Keep well ventilated as it is prone to root rot. Protect from frosts and freezes. Hates the sun.
