Common Names: Haage’s Pincushion, Mexican Pincushion Cactus, Globe Mammillaria

Appearance

Radial spines are fine and white, while central spines are slightly longer and darker, creating a soft, textured appearance.
Forms small clumps over time, typically staying under 6–8 inches tall and spreading slightly wider.
