A Bolivian taxon that may be included in R. haefneriana or become lost in the many variable forms that
are bundled together as R.pygmaea. When it comes to small cacti I use a simple system of classification
that resembles my approach to motor cars. This is an orange one. This is rather pale, the colour also extends as far as chilli red. The Llifle Encyclopedia says: "Origin and Habitat: Bolivia (Tarija, PotosÃ, Chuquisaca) and Argentina (Salta, Jujuy). Altitude range: 3000-4000 metres above sea level. Habitat and ecology: Rebutia atrovirens occurs on rocky outcrops among grass with very low bushes often on steeply sloping ground where water rarely stands for any length of time." |
