La prima traccia che trovo di Mammillaria bachmannii è in un articolo di John Pilbeam:
Da "REVIEWING THE REVIEW" by John Pilbeam:
M. bachmannii Bod. Certainly all the plants I have seen under this name do not resemble the plant photograph or the description in Craig. The latter plant in my collection is flat, globular, solitary (for six years anyway), with about 16 thin, weak dirty-white radials about 4mm. long, 2 porrect centrals, pink with grey tips in youth, grey later, stouter, the lower about 7mm. long the upper 5mm. , flowers deep carmine, fruit carmine hardly protruding beyond the
tubercles, seed brown with end hilum.
Inoltre in "REVIEW QF MAMMILLARIA NAMES IN CURRENT USAGE" (Part 22) by D.R. Hunt
M.bachmannii Hort. (non Boedeker) .
Mr Pilbearn ( l . c . ) asks what name 'the fairly constant masquerader under this name should bear. I have only seen rather small plants under this name and suspect they may all derive from one source Mr; Maddam, and I agree that they are referable to series Leucocephalae and perhaps to the neighbourhood of M.woodsii, though dark spined
Infine "THE DERIVATION OF MAMMILLARIA SPECIES NAMES" (Part 2) by J. A, Huijssoon, W.F. Maddams and B. Maddams.
bachmannii Presumably named for a Herr Bachmann, details of whom we have not been able to trace. In as much as this species seems to have been described from cultivated plants the name may first have appeared in a nurseryman's list.
