Mammillaria albicoma

Flowering Plants

Mammillaria albicoma is a species of cactus in the family Cactaceae and the genus Mammillaria, endemic to Mexico. The name carries the botanical authority Boed. Its natural habitat is hot deserts, and it is threatened by habitat loss. The IUCN Red List assessed it as Endangered in 2013. Because it is endemic to Mexico, the whole of its known range lies inside that one country, which makes the loss of its desert habitat there a direct risk to the species as a whole.
