Coryphantha

Coryphantha Wohlschlageri is a small cactus with dark green olive green stems 3 to 5cm and the same diameter. The intensely egg-yellow flowers are 5 to 6 cm in diameter and silky.

It is a hardy cactus with long, dark spines which branches profusely, ultimately forming low mats or hemispheric mounds to 100 cm diameter.

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.

Coryphantha elephantidens subsp. greenwoodii is a solitary or group-forming, flat-globose cactus, mostly growing under the ground-level. It is intermediate between Coriphantha elepantidens and Coriphantha pycnacantha.

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.

The body of the plant has growth bands with long thorns alternating with bands with very short thorns. Over time, the plant becomes more and more bizarre and out of the ordinary.

Compact, with dense interlacing spines covering the stem. Beautiful and distinctive form. A gem!

Globulaar with long fat tubercles, spines white-yellow, longer thick black central spine, large yellowi flower.
