This plant, which was for a long time in cultivation in Europe, has, according to Mr. Bödeker, entirely disappeared.
He writes that it is a prolific bloomer and that once he had a plant with 32 flowers open at the same time.
The species is named for Friederich Bödeker of Cologne, Germany. Quehl groups this species next to Mammillaria wrightii.
