Flowering Mar-May; fruiting Nov-May. Chihuahuan desert scrub, desert grasslands, lower edge of oak zone; 1200-2100 m; Ariz., N.Mex.; Mexico (Chihuahua).

L. D. Benson´s (1982) concepts of Mammillaria gummifera varieties all included material of M. heyderi var. bullingtoniana. The stems, spines, and tubercles of var. bullingtoniana average about one-fourth larger than var. heyderi in all dimensions.
