Check list of Rebutia species
The following is a list of specific and varietal names which have been used in
connection with the genus Rebutia. A large number of these names are invalid,
unfortunately many of them are still in use and have therefore been included. Please
realise that this is not a complete check list as we are sure there are many other
names and combinations which have appeared in obscure publications and which
are not included. Nursery catalogues are a fruitful source of misnames and invalid
combinations. As it is, the list already contains nearly 800 names and combinations.
We do not pretend to know what are all the correct current names for many of
the names in the following list for a variety of reasons.
a) often living plants of many of the named ‘species’ are not in cultivation and in
addition were sometimes inadequately described without photographs. This
means that accurate assessment as to status or indeed relationship to a
currently accepted name is extremely difficult and often impossible.
b) names have sometimes been given to plants which after further field work
appear to have been described from extreme geographical forms. They have
never been recollected and probably never will be again (e.g. R. albipilosa)
c) many of the names are names in the literature described without full
description and so referal to the correct name is often impossible.
d) a number of the names have not been published in accordance with the code of
Botanical Nomenclature and have therefore to be excluded.
The complex and superfluous nature of the names in this genus is admirably
illustrated by the example of Rebutia senilis, where there are no less than 50 possible
combinations.
I Starred * names have accurate locational data and have been used in the
compilation of the distribution maps.
II The accepted species together with the names of plants which are reasonably
distinct and identifiable are set in bold type.
III All other names are set in italic type.
