Front cover: This interesting-looking rarity was first found by Alfred Lau in 1971 near Huizache, but he had no idea what it was and he didn’t give it a field collection number. A long time later it was eventually described in 2003 by Manfred Weisbarth as Ariocarpus retusus ssp. pectinatus, for the obvious feature of bearing a comb-like set of short spines on each areole.
