I bought this today as a little gift for myself after finishing an exam. I really like how it makes tiny balls. It costs... $1

It came labeled "Cactus". Very cute.

It poked my butt when I sat in the car

Some kind of Mammillaria. Growing in a cluster like that may or may not be it's most common form. It will probably grow very pretty flowers!

I dony think it's mammillaria, they get long. I searched clumping cacti and found Pediocactus Simpsonii var. Minor, might be that.

Wow, you're right! It does look like that. Sorry for the bad info.

I believe they can clump sometimes. Or maybe I've just seen misidentified pediocactus.
