Classification Section III Digito<strong>rebutia</strong> Subsection I Pygmaeae<br />
Body up to 25mm. in diameter, simple at first but becoming caespitose<br />
with age. The epidermis bluish-green often tinged deep purple<br />

Notes This species has a very wide geographical range and a large<br />
number of minor variations occur. Many of <strong>the</strong>se minor variations<br />
have been described as ‘new’ species or varieties. There are for<br />
example a very large number of flower colour variants and also<br />
spine colour variants. It is indeed possible that this species could<br />
include 90% of all <strong>the</strong> species ascribed to <strong>the</strong> subsection<br />
Pygmaeae!<br />
