Comments

Ariocarpus retusus is widely distributed in Nuevo Leon, the plants here are growing on gentle slopes near Galeana, and are of the A. furfuraceus type, clusters are quite frequent. This population whilst healthy at the moment nay be threatened in the future as it is very close to a rubbish dump.
