Hey guys
Could any of you help me with figuring out this cactus species?
It is a small clustering cactus, with round segments covered with radial spines. It looks very much like Rebutia rauschii, but it is actually an opuntiad! I believe it has sometimes been placed in its own genus, but that it has been put, perhaps, back into Opuntia.
Oh, it is not a tephrocactus. I saw it in someone's collection but didn't write down the name. Drat.
Help me with a brain freeze?

I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

Tephrocactus bonnieae? Cumulopuntia subterranea? Cumulopuntia rossiana 'fuauxiana'?

Probably tephrocactus bonniae or sometimes called puna bonniae as phil says.

Spination in bonniae can vary though:-

As the first link says bonniae was not considered a Tephrocactus initially, but has now been moved there.

Ahhh!!!! Thank you! I had seen the plant in question listed as Puna bonnieae. I didn't write it down and it's been driving me nuts.
I'll grow it as long as it doesn't have glochids. Gaudy flowers a plus.

Named after Bonnie Brunkow, it's bonnie +ae, bonnieae, even though that looks a bit odd.DaveW wrote:Spination in bonniae can vary though:-
