:: Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp bravoanus -- This species is a relatively new inclusion in the Ariocarpus genus.

First isolated in 1992, this plant was originally called Ariocarpus Fissuratus ssp Bravoanus, due to the fisures on the plant's tubercles.  The plant is endangered in habitat, having been poached to near extinction in the state of San Louis Potosi, where it originates.  The plant is characterized by sharply acute leaf-edges, minor fissures and gray-green tubercles.  The Ariocarpus bravoanus ssp bravoanus produces small pink flowers with a cream outer rim. ::
