  cultivated in St。 Louis in 1845 and 1861。
  Dietrich's description was   taken from plants   collected by Poselger   at
  Corpus Christi。The Schott specimens are from Eagle Pass。Dr。 Engelmann
  calls attention to the fact that this species approaches Coryphantha in its
  exserted   ovary   and     large   flower;   but   the  flowers   are   clearly   from   the
  growth   of   the   preceding   season。The   species   is   said   to   be   too   near   the
  Mexican      C。   longimamma       of   central   and   southern    Mexico;    but   in  the
  absence of type specimens of either the question can not be settled。 The
  usual   characterization   of   C。   longimamma   is   as   follows;   which   seems   to
  make it distinct enough:
