Mammillaria schwarzii is a species of plant in the family Cactaceae. It is a succulent cactus subshrub endemic to Guanajuato state in Mexico. It is native to semi-desert matorral (scrubland) and oak woodland from 2,150 to 2,400 meters elevation, where grows on steep igneous rock faces.[1]
Thought to be extinct for some time, it was rediscovered in 1987.[1]
