Eriosyce taltalensis is spiny geophytic cactus with stems rising barely above ground level. The stem is globose or semi-globular dull dark green, in the sun often tinged with purple. The roots are fibrous, arising from a short, conical taproot.
Stem with a metallic sheen between aquamarine green and bronze, bearing fishbone-shaped spines in rust or light brown tones. Freely offsets to form small, flattened cushions. Beautiful and rare.
Selection of Eriosyce gerocephala with thin, soft, and flexible spines in pure white to creamy-white. The
dense, bright white spination gives the plant a luminous appearance and significant ornamental value.
Mammilloydia candida called 'Snowball' is a choice cactus with a so dense snowy white, spination, that its body appears hidden by spines. Mammilloydia are clearly related to the genus Mammillaria, but it is usually recognized as a segregate genera.
