Sulcorebutia
As you may have seen, the part of the generic name, rebutia, is a genus on its own however the first comes from a Latin word, sulcus, which means groove. Obviously the cacti from both genrus aren't far from each other & many were originally in Rebutia but were shifted into this generic name. In comparison Sulcorebutia have harder stems & have a more prominent rib structure & the areoles are smaller & elongated.
The globular cacti are found in Bolivia mountains & have a larger range of colours for their petals.
Now great knowledge about this cactus other than to say it's called Sulcorebutia albida.
It's odd reading books on Sulcorebutia frankiana as some say it used to be Rebutia canigueralii & others saying the opposite. I think perhaps this proves the problems with names in succulents whereas it isn't in tropical fish.
As for the flowers, the picture was taken ten days ago & as of now, it's still not close to showing it.
