Coryphantha delicata is a small cactus native to Mexico.
Coryphantha delicata often is sold as a potted plant and may be planted in xeriscaping, its attraction being its unusually small, spherical shape and flowers which on such a small body may look oversized. Sometimes plants of this species are sold as Coryphantha palmeri, which is a synonym for Coryphantha compacta.
Coryphantha delicata inhabits semiarid scrublands and grasslands.
