Rebutia krainziana, correct ID?

Post by JungleMel »

I got this cactus labeled as Rebutia krainziana. Below are bloom pictures. It doesn't look like any other krainziana I've seen, is it? It's also blooming from the top, not the bottom like my other Rebutias. Also, it created a fuzzy large areole and blomed from that, instead of just popping out a bud. This could also be because it was an Altman rescue, the places where spines are missing and the growth is kind of funny on top was where the strawflower resided and is growing out of. I'm at a loss, I can't find any pictures that look like this, a friend said it looked more like Parodia allosiphon?

Anyway, is this R. krainziana?

Looks a bit like arnostiana - haven't seen that one much.

Now that you all pointed me in this direction, I was thinking it looked the most like Parodia fusca, formerly Notocactus fuscus? Any thoughts? Is this a synonym for Parodia nothorauschii?
