Displaying an astonishing diversity in size, shape, and spination patterns, these cacti captivate with their intricately arranged tubercles, each adorned with clusters of areoles bearing spines. The genus Mammillaria encompasses around 200 recognized species, making it one of the largest within the Cactaceae family.
