Cochemiea saboae is a species of Cochemiea found in Mexico.[2]
Description
Cochemiea saboae grows solitary or in small groups with fleshy roots. The green, egg-shaped shoots are 1 to 4 cm (0.39 to 1.57 in) long and 1 to 3.5 cm (0.39 to 1.38 in) in diameter. The small, slightly rounded, smooth warts do not produce milky juice. The axillae are naked, and central spines are usually absent, though a 2 mm (0.079 in)-long central spine has been observed rarely. The 17 to 45 radial spines are slender, glassy white, yellow at the base, and sometimes slightly curved, growing up to 2 mm (0.079 in) long.
The funnel-shaped flowers are pink and can grow up to 6.5 cm (2.6 in) long and wide. The fruits are embedded in the plant body and contain black seeds.[3]
