Comments
The
most recently discovered member of the genus, Ariocarpus bravoanus
is extremely limited in its distribution, and the population has been
greatly depleted by collection, Efforts are now being made to protect the
remaining plants. however its survival is precarious, for a single
collector could decimate the remaining plants within a couple of hours.
