Cochemiea armillata is a species of Cochemiea found in Mexico. [2]
Cochemiea armillata initially grows solitary but later forms groups. The plants are slender, cylindrical, and can reach up to 30 cm (12 in) in height and 4 to 5 cm (1.6 to 2.0 in) in diameter, which usually grows with 3 to 12 stems that emerge at the height of the base or sometimes higher. They have firm, blue-green, conical to cylindrical warts without milky sap. The axillae are covered with wool and bristles. Each plant has 1 to 4 strong, yellowish-gray central spines, which darken with age and are partly hooked, measuring 1 to 2 cm (0.39 to 0.79 in) long. The 9 to 15 grayish white radial spines are thin, bristly, straight, and 0.7 to 1.2 cm (0.28 to 0.47 in) long.
The bell-shaped or funnel-shaped flowers are pink-creamy yellow, 1 to 3 cm (0.39 to 1.18 in) long, bell-shaped or funnel-shaped up to 2 cm (0.79 in) in diameter. The filaments are pink with yellow anthers. The stigma is also pink, with 5 to 7 lobes up to 5 mm (0.20 in) long, pinkish red. The red, club-shaped fruits are 1.5 to 3 cm (0.59 to 1.18 in) long and 7 to 10 mm (0.28 to 0.39 in) in diameter, containing black seeds, up to 1 mm (0.039 in) long by 0.5 mm (0.020 in) wide. [3]
Cochemiea armillata is native to Baja California Sur, Mexico ranging from San José del Cabo area and as far as La Paz.[ citation needed ]
It was first described as Mammillaria armillata in 1900 by Mary Katharine Brandegee. [4] The specific epithet armillata is Latin for 'decorated with clasps,' referring to the species' thorns. In 2021, Peter B. Breslin and Lucas C. Majure reclassified it into the genus Cochemiea. [5]
Cochemiea is a genus of cactus. The group was previously synonymized with Mammillaria, until molecular phylogenetic studies determined that—when broadly circumscribed—Mammillaria is not monophyletic; thus, Cochemiea has been accepted as a distinct genus.
