Sentences with MAMMILLARIA (3)
Those with long-tubed flowers comprise the genera _Melocactus_, _Mammillaria_, _Echinocactus_, _Cereus_, _Pilocereus_, _Echinopsis_, _Phyllocactus_, _Epiphyllum_, &c.; while those with short-tubed flowers are _Rhipsalis_, _Opuntia_, _Peireskia_, and one or two of minor importance.
MAMMILLARIA.--This genus, which comprises nearly 300 species, mostly Mexican, with a few Brazilian and West Indian, is called nipple cactus, and consists of globular or cylindrical succulent plants, whose surface instead of being cut up into ridges with alternate furrows, as in _Melocactus_, is broken up into teat-like cylindrical or angular tubercles, spirally arranged, and terminating in a radiating tuft of spines which spring from a little woolly cushion.
Some of the latter--such as the Crown of Thorns and the _Mammillaria_--have small or infrequent flowers.
