Mexico Reveals Many Interesting Varieties Of Cactus

From Mexico come many interest
ing species of the Cactaceae. Many
Of these have been discovered only
recently, writes E. C. Hummel in
Nature Magazine. One of the COM
paratively new discoveries is the
Mamillaria hahniana, known as the
Old Lady of Mexico. This was dis
covered in 1929 in Central Mexico,
where it grows in large clusters,
completely cloaked in long, fine hair.
During the blooming season it wears
a crown of pink or rose flowers.
Little less conspicuous is the crown
of red berries that is later pushed
from between the Towering tuber-
cles, to remain for weeks like a
crown of rubies on white-haired
lady.
One Of the most difficult plans to
locate is Roseocactus kotschubey-
anus, which belongs to the living
rock group of the Cactaceae. On
account of the shape of its tubercles,
it carries the common name Of deer
foot cactus. It has q large tuberous
root and the entire plant Is sunken
entirely in the ground. Here it is
safe from the eyes Of the collector
until blooming time, when the large
pink flowers that arise from the CEN
ter disclose its presence.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-01-26

Cephalocereus hoppenstedtii is
one Of the rarer Of the old man
group. It is also referred to as one
of the torch cactuses, as it takes
very little imagination to make it
such, when moonlight or late sum
light finds a reflector in the mass
of beautiful white spines. In its
natural habitat it reaches height
Of ten meters.
Not less fascinating than these
normal forms are the strange shapes
produced when something goes
wrong with natures control Of
growth. The red cockscomb found
in many gardens has been devel-
oped through many years of selec-
ton and is propagated from seed.
In cactuses such forms are espe-
cially interesting. While the cause
of this phenomenon is a contro-
versial subject, scientists agree that
in certain cases it is hereditary.
