Growers Notes... New Species or Not??

Lophophora Williamsii
var. Nuevo Yucatan

Lophophora Williamsii var. Nuevo Yucatan from the area of Coahuila Mexico, has a tendency to shoot somewhat smaller more delicate looking flowers, but is most definately a must have for every collector. Easily germinated, the plant has more of an ashy grey tone in appearance, is quite hardy and provides for a wonderful slightly different look to the typical form. This is a highly recommended variation for both the novice as well as the seasoned collector, simply for the difference in flower size and appearance alone. As can be seen in the photo at the bottom of the page this variation also grows quite a substantial tuber even as a seedling.
