An orange flowered species from Bolivia. The Llifle encyclopedia says: "Origin and Habitat: Bolivia (Chuquisaca, Tarija, Cochabamba, Salta, Jujuy, PotosÃ, Santa Cruz). Altitude: 2100-4000 metres above sea level. Habitat: This cactus can be found in prepuna shrublands, in high, dry, rocky grasslands in valleys and rocky slopes of the Andes in fully exposed sites and in cliffs near rivers and riverbeds. Inhabitants must be very rugged in order to tolerate such extremes in exposure. Rebutia fiebrigii is an abundant species. The population is stable because it is not exposed to any major threat. Nowadays, under the name of Rebutia fiebrigii, botanists include several different forms, that were previously regarded as independent species." |
