Mammillaria standleyi is a small, clustering desert cactus from northern Mexico with red-purple flowers and small red fruits. It needs bright light, sharp drainage and very little water.
Mammillaria standleyi is a species of the family Cactaceae native to the Sierra Madre Occidental of Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Sonora. It has red-purple flowers surrounded by cottony pubescence. Fruits are red and edible, tasting like apples, although too small to be of much food value to humans.
