I am not a professional nor an expert in Rebutia and Sulcorebutia taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. We do ship in the winter and we offer 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. No international shipping. Please read the front page for ordering information.
Note: I've been collecting and growing Sulcorebutia and Rebutia for over 35 years and have found that it's hard to keep up with the name changes. So I must say I do the best I can with the names. The plants list below where propagated from our old collection plants. Hope you enjoy growing Sulcorebutia and Rebutia as much as I do!
Rebutia
Rebutia albipilosa ssp. fiebrigii -
This species has an uncommon appeal, and is grown for its beautiful cream-white
spines on fuzzy balls. It also produces vibrant orange-red flowers.
Northern Argentina and Bolivia.
Growing in 2.75" pots. 8 in stock @ $10.00 each.
Rebutia albopectinata -
This species was distributed as ISI 1305 in 1982 as a single clone of the
Friedrich Ritter collection (FR 758) propagated by grafting by Charlie Glass.
However, it no longer seems to be in general circulation. Like that earlier
distribution, the Karel Knize distribution (KK 849 as R.
densipectinata,
an unpublished synonym), represents the same dark-bodied form. This is truly a
gem of the genus forming tight, conical or rounded clusters of small heads
usually less than a cm. (3/8") in diameter. While the epithet albopectinata refers
to the pectinate (comb-like) clusters of white spines typical of the species,
this form has shorter, darker spines that allow the dark, purplish stem color to
show. The flowers are the same crimson-red often with magenta on the outer
tepals and tube. Plants from controlled pollination of KK 849, originally from
2800 m. at Jucanas, Tarija Department, Bolivia. HBG 120328. Growing in 2.75"
pots. 11 in stock @ $10.00 each.
Rebutia aureispina - Is
one of the several forms of the very variable Rebutia
deminuta which
form a complex of related taxon. It is still unclear whether this variable
complex is one or several species. There is so much variation that most authors
choose to lump them together. Rebutia
aureispina distingushes
from the standard Rebutia
deminuta in
that it has stronger shaggy stiff yellowish-brown spines. Bolivia.
Growing in 4 1/2" pots. 4 in stock @ $15.00 each.
Rebutia donaldiana ssp. fiebrigii - Is
a small solitary or mound-forming cactus preading out to 15 cm with white,
silky, short spines and light green tubercles thickly covering the body. It is a
free-flowering species with bright vermilion blooms, but quite variable. Now
days, under the name of Rebutia
fiebrigii,
botanists include several different forms, that were previously regarded as
independent species. Bolivia. Growing in 4 1/2" pot. 1 in stock @ $15.00.

Rebutia fabrisii ssp. aureiflora -
Rebutia
fabrisii var. aureiflora is
a local or morphological form of Rebutia
fabrisii with
bright yellow flowers instead of orange or red, all the other characteristics
are identical, namely size and form of stems, spines, form and dimension of
flowers, fruit, etc. This prove, that it is impossible to differentiate between
these taxa and var. aureiflora should
be fully synonymized with Rebutia
fabrisii.
Yellow
flowering form.
Argentina. Growing in a 2.75" pot. 1 @ $10.00.
Rebutia fiebrigii ssp. cajasensis - Came to me with this name? It should be one
