ON THE COVER: Mammillaria perezdelarosae is arguably the most spectacular species in the genus. In the habitat report in this issue we learn that they grow on sloping bare rock in pockets of moss or in cracks, with excellent drainage. It is always worth reading about habitat conditions as these will help you with your own plants in cultivation (Photo: Ian Woolnough)
