Aylostera melanocentra (Rausch) Mosti & Papini


Regarded by some as a form of Aylostera steinmannii. Initially described as such, this plant differs in its brownish tipped marginal spines and black central spine (hence the name). Found to be distinct enough to be given specific status by Mosti & Papini (2011).
