Yesterday, I acquired this plant from a long standing member of our club who was divesting himself of his collection due to his age. Unfortunatly, I did not see him to ask the meaning of the tag so here I am today. I assume the tag is the collected plant from near Famatima, Argentina. Short of that I don't know what it is.
Ideas?

Species : Gymnocalycium hossei v. roseiflorum

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8
Re: Gymnocalycium Sierra Famatima
I also saw similar entries for Gymnocalycium saglionis. Maybe I just stick with the field entry?

Maybe, this will not affect cultivation way. Seeing first flowers could make you more confident.
