United StatesMistaken for ******!
The other day a friend mistook my Matucana madisoniorum for ******. After disclosing its true identity, I agreed to the resemblance. With its spineless matte green skin, globular shape and broad, rounded ribs, it bares a striking resemblance to ******. But they are not related. M. madisoniorum is native to Peru while ****** originates from south Texas and northern Mexico. And in its homeland, the USA, ****** is illegal, but is legal in Europe and other parts of the world. Getting back to M. madisoniorum, it has elegant lines so it will be welcome in any collection.
