| A very distinctive Mexican species with linear leaves and tightly scaled winter buds. Photographed at the Palmengarten in Frankfurt in 1982, looking as good as I have ever seen it. This group showed an impressive variability in flower, presumably they had been raised from seed, instead of cuttings. |

| Palmengarten. | A Mexican species from the state of San Luis Potosi, where it has only been found twice. First in 1910, growing on gypsum rocks near Minas de San Rafael north of the town of San Luis Potosi. In 1994 seeds were brought back from "Santa Gertrudis", believed to be another mine about 50km from the original location. | |||
