My plant came with the collection number RH.259. The Llifle encyclopedia says: "Origin and Habitat: Cajas Pass, near Nogales, about 35 km North West of Tarija, Bolivia (Western South America, Southern America). Altitude: 2200-2800 metres elevation. Type locality: Las Cajas, about 35 km north east of Tarija, about 2280 metres above sea level. Description: Rebutia heliosa subs. teresae (a.k.a. Rebutia teresae) is merely a long-spined form of Rebutia heliosa (somewhat intermediate with respect to certain traits with Rebutia fiebrigii?). The spines are not quite as appressed as in the typical subspecies and the areoles are not as elongated, but the broader bodies are nevertheless covered in glassy, pectinate spination emerging from brown to coppery-coloured areoles. The flowers are more intensely red-orange with a pinkish blush to the outer tepals. White spines & brown areoles make this plant very attractive even when not in bloom." |
