Comments
Ariocarpus
scaphirostris is found at various locations within the Rayones Valley,
it is all however a single population. As with other species variation in
tubercle shape and size do occur, but there are no variations worthy of
recognition. As can be seen in the photograph the plants are excellently
disguised in habitat and accurate assessment of population size is
difficult.
