I don't grow many of these small cacti now. While I still adore them, they do inspire occasional homicidal moments. I gave most of them away, let someone else suffer the consequences. I got this as Sulcorebutia candiae but people are also growing it as Rebutia candiae. Whatever name you choose, it has splendid yellow-ochre flowers produced freely. Plants of the World online says: "The native range of this species is Bolivia. It is a succulent subshrub and grows primarily in the desert or dry shrubland biome." Llifle encyclopedia says: It is closely allied and intergrades with Rebutia menesesii and Rebutia arenacea that grows in the same area. They may all be different forms of the same polymorphic species. There is a wide range of forms amongst the members of the Rebutia arenacea group." |
