Mammillaria

Thanks for your additions to this large and difficult genus.

A quick word about "References":

1. What we really want here is the bibliographic information regarding the original publication of the name, and publications that modify the name and/or circumscription. External links to other sites about the organism are sometimes OK, but they're listed in a subheader for External links.
2. "The Plant List" is not a reliable source (yet). It is simply a database dump from several existing lists, and is not authoritative. It is full of serious errors and has countless omissions.
