Extra Info:
Sulcorebutia steinbachii var. tunariensis is only known from the valley west of the Baños de Liriuni where it comes together with S. steinbachii v. steinbachii. Typical for such plants is Rebutia glanduliflora discovered, but never described by Cárdenas. Krahn also collected plants near Liriuni under his number WK229. This variety can be understood as a intermediate between S. steinbachii var. steinbachii and var. vertcillacantha. There is no proven material from Cárdenas.
