Sandy ridges in the valley of the Rio Grande (both sides of the river);
from the mouth to Eagle Pass。Fl。 from March throughout the season。
Specimens examined: Texas (Schott of 1852): also specimens
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:

somewhat longer and spreading: flower 4 cm。 long; becoming 6 cm。 broad
when fully expanded; yellow。(Ill。 DC。 Mem。 Cact。 t。 5。)

nascent tubercles (hence appearing terminal); mostly large: spines never
hooked (except in the doubtful C。 brunneus)。
