In the November issue of KuaS, Willi Gertel describes a new variety of Sulcorebutia : Sulcorebutia tiraquensis var. huanacuniensis.
This new variety has been named after the community of Huanacuni (Department Cochabamba) where it can be found. G 183/8 is the holotype plant. Other field numbers : G 221, G 299 and G 300.
S. tiraquensis var. huanacuniensis is growing in the immediate neighborhood of S. tiraquensis var. totorensis but it differs in the colour of the epidermis and more spines and the smaller very light pink flower.

My friend Wolfgang Latin was kind enough to write a small summary of the article for us :
“Weingartia pucarensis was discovered by Hansjörg Jucker at "Cerro Pucara" a small mountain formation over to the west of the Rio Pilcomayo river in the department of Potosi, Province Linares, Bolivia at an altitude between 2.150 and 2.500 meters.
W. pucarensis differs from all the other known Weingartia's by the dark brownish-
Apart from that Weingartia pucarensis' appearance is in general close to that of Weingartia longigibba but is smaller in size (6cm high, 12 cm wide).
The color of the flower is a deep yellow.
Weingartia pucarensis is growing together with Blossfeldia sp., Cleistocactus sp., Parodia sp., Echinopsis sp., Trichocereus sp. and some others cacti.”
I personally have no photos of this plant but I have found some on the web.
