Notes
The description of Mammillaria leucodasys was made from a dead specimen, so the probability of errors in the application of the characters is greater. Sinking of the apex may eventually be due to stem rot. Characters that allow Epithelantha micromeris to be identified with certainty as the dimensions of the areole, and flowers are not described. (Aquino et al. 2019). Therefore, it is not possible to corroborate that it is a member of Epithelantha.A
