Extra Info:
Sulcorebutia tiraquensis v. lepida is a rather dubious taxon because there is no really reliable plant material. All plants labelled FR369 are of more or less uncertain origin and other ones labeled S. lepida probably have nothing to do with this taxon at all. The Sulcorebutia shown below came to me from ZSS with no further information. It might be the same as the plant on IMG 620 of Ritter, Kakteen in Südamerika Vol 2.
