Turbinicarpus mandragora

Turbinicarpus sp.
Date: 2002 April 6

One of the types of Turbinicarpus which has sometimes been placed in Gymnocactus.

This specimen was grown from seed sown in 1997, originally obtained as Turbinicarpus mandragora, but I am told by Manfred of www.turbiniarpus.de that is isn't. He says that the flower is completely different.
