Lactomamillaria ('Lactomamillara') Frič (1924)

Etymology

Latin lac (stem lact-) + Mammillaria, often spelled Mamillaria at the time (the compound should correctly be Lactimamillaria). For the milky sap and the affinity to Mammillaria.

The original spelling Lactomamillara is usually corrected to Lactomamillaria. The corrected form Lactomammillaria is not acceptable since the spelling with one m was intentional and is correct in Latin.
