This little member of the Cactaceae family was given this name by Schumann in 1898
(Don't know about var. albiflorus). It's found in the northern part of Mexico,
var. albiflorus in Tamaulipas, in the
heights. It grows in clay with little water and lots of sun. It will
only grow to one centimetre, the root up to two centimetres. The nominate
has rose/pink flowers, this one white. I found it in Zwijndrecht, The
Netherlands in 2003.
A little water in the
spring, and a little in the autumn, and it will do fine.
