Tephrocactus papyracanthus is a sub specie of T. articulatus right?

How does the law/Nemba treat sub-species?

Many times I thought this Ariocarpus retuses to be dead. I have had it for around 7 years now, but it is much older than that. It has never flowered. Earlier this year, I considered dumping it. But today, she shows she is alive!

Astrophytum myriostigma is a naturally diverse species, but cactus enthusiasts have pushed those boundaries even further. The hobby has seen an explosion of unique cultivars—so many, in fact, that the list of names has become nearly impossible to track.
