A spectacular combination of white bodies and bright orange flowers. A splendid little uncuddleable plant. It has now been synonymised with R. fiebrigii. The Encyclopoedia of Living Forms says: "Origin and Habitat: Northern Argentina (Jujuy to Salta to Catamarca) and Bolivia (Tarija) Altitude: From 3600-3700 metres a.s.l. Habitat: It is found in high, dry, rocky grasslands in rocky slopes of the Andes in fully exposed sites. The dense covering of spines reduces the interception of solar radiation by the stem surface lowering the risks of overheating the apex during a summer day and of freezing during a winter night. Description: Rebutia albipilosaSN|4948]]SN|4948]] is a plant from northern Argentina. It's a white-furrowed cactus with dense, long, white bristles and a large main body, with several offsets that bloom sparely but regularly." |
