Description
Echinopsis tiegelianaSN|20965]]SN|20965]] (Lobivia tiegeliana) is a very variable species for colour and number of spines, size and colour of flowers. It comprises several questionable varieties and its taxonomic history has undergone several changes. The great variability of Echinopsis tiegelianaSN|20965]]SN|20965]] is due to the fact that cross pollination among different forms and different species (in habitat and especially in collections) is very frequent and it can be quite difficult to determine what is the "pure type" and the cross. The var. ruberrima is distinguishable for the bright red blooms.
