A red flowered species that didn't last here for very long. It is currently accepted that the name should be R. spegazziniana. The Llifle encyclopedia says: "Origin and Habitat: Questa de Sama and adjacent areas, Tarija, Bolivia Altitude range: 3100-3900 Habitat and ecology: Rebutia fusca grows on rock outcrops in grassy slopes. Description: Rebutia fusca is a very distinctive species with an overall brown aspect, and with very short spines lying close to the stem that barely reach 2-3 mm long and give the impression that the plant could be grasped with impunity. It is the “Bolivian form” of Rebutia spegazziniana, but it has a very different habit from that species, growing tallish stems and solitary or clustering randomly. This slow growing cactus is highly priced for its vibrant orange red blooms." |
