:: Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp hintonii

TAnother relatively new inclusion in the Ariocarpus genus.  The hintonii was originally included in the fissuratus species and was named after George Hinton, who discovered it.  The plant is endangered and may be found in only two locations in the state of San Louis Potosi.  The plant is characterized by generally shorter tubercles than the bravoanus sub-species and very distinct lateral grooves on the tubercles.  The Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp hintonii produces large pinkish flowers.. ::
