	FISHHOOKS AND PINCUSHIONS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		The species of this genus are commonly called pincushion cacti or fishhook cacti, depending on whether the spines are straight or are curved back at their tips.
		This is an example of a pincushion cactus - the three central spines (brown coloured) arising from each aureole are straight, and there is a cluster of white radial spines that cover most of the surface of the cactus.
		In Mammillaria (but not in all pincushion cacti) the flowers develop in a ring from the bases of the nipples that developed in the previous growing season.

		Mammillarias are so named due to their prominent tubercles.
		Rather than well formed ribs, each tubercle is raised, in the form of a nipple, and they are arranged in a spiral pattern around the body.
		The flowers however arise from the base of the tubercle, a diagnostic feature of all Mammillarias, and usually form a complete ring around or near the top of the plant, often from a very young age - 2 to 3 years from seed.

	Plants Belonging to the Genus 'Mammillaria'
		The name Mammillaria comes from the Latine for "nipple", because the areolas (structures carrying the spines) are carried by nipple like structures instead of being organized in ribs like many other cacti.
		In general the Mammillarias bloom easily, but many species need a rest period in winter during which they are kept cool in order to bloom.

		Mammillaria is one of the biggest genus there is, somewhere over 200 species atleast, and almost as many cultivars...
		I've noticed that Mammillaria usually germinate from 1-7 days after they've been sown (but some ofcourse use longer, so don't take it as a rule).
		This is one of the most popular genera of cacti, most collectors/lovers do have some of these in their collection, as when you buy cacti from 'flower-shops' there are almost always some Mammillaria to choose from.

		International trade in plants and seeds of wild origin is banned by the listing of Mammillaria pectinifera on Appendix I of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) (4).
		In addition, the demand for this species is being increasingly met by seed-raised plants, thus reducing the pressure on wild populations (2).

		Their colors may be white, cream, or shades of reds, pinks, and yellows.
		Unlike most cacti whose flowers are borne on the areoles, the flowers of Mammillarias are produced from the joints of the tubercles.
		Many of these plants are excellent beginner's plants because they grow quickly from seed and will flower when quite young.

	Mammillaria hahniana
		Mammillaria hahniana is commonly known as the old woman cactus because of the grayish hairs that protect it from the harsh sun common to its native habitat in the Mexican state of Guanajuato.
		Mexico is an important center of diversity for the Cactus Family, containing more than five hundred species and possessing the highest number of endemic and endangered cacti of any country in the world.
		Though wild populations of Mammillaria hahniana are still considered vulnerable, widespread propagation of this species by commercial nurseries catering to cactus hobbyists has greatly reduced the demand for plants collected from naturally-occurring populations.
