Cochemiea palmeri is a species of Cochemiea found in Mexico.[2]
Description
Cochemiea palmeri grows in groups with gray-green, elongated spherical shoots reaching 9 cm in height and 5 cm in diameter. The square-based, bluntly conical warts lack milky juice. The axillae are covered with white wool and short, twisted bristles. The plant has 3 to 5 straight or occasionally hooked central spines, brownish with dark tips, measuring 6 to 8 mm long, and 25 to 30 slender, needle-like marginal spines, white and 5 to 6 mm long.
The flowers are light greenish-white or light cream-colored, sometimes with a pink touch, and measure 1 cm across. The scarlet red, club-shaped fruits are up to 1.3 cm long and contain black seeds.[3]
Originally described as Cactus palmeribyJohn Merle Coulter in 1894, the species was named in honor of botanist and archaeologist Edward Palmer.[5] In 2021, Peter B. Breslin and Lucas C. Majure reclassified it into the genus Cochemiea.[6]
