Description
The correct spelling is cachytayensis. You might find it listed as Neoporteria, Pyrrhocactus or Eriosyce. The name is invalid and it was not published at all. Possibly it was just showed up from one of the European nurseries? It is often considered a synonym of Eriosyce taltalensisSN|16084]]SN|3017]], Erisyce paucicostata or Eriosyce neohankeanaSN|3017]]SN|16084]]. Without knowing where it is from or even if it is a hybrid, it is difficult to classify it positively.
