Neolloydia

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.

Neolloydia conoidea, a.k.a. “Cone Cactus”, is a small cactus species, with white, radial spines and longer, black, centrals. Bears purple- violet flowers. The common name of this plant comes from its resemblance to an unopened pine cone.
