Rebutia minuscula (Cactus)

Cactacea very diffused in almost all the world, of reduced dimensions (hence the name of the species) with globose stem, slightly depressed at the apex, tending with the growth to light abundantly creating a thick pillow of multiple suckers that do not exceed a few centimeters in diameter. Equipped with numerous little pronounced tubercles, it has small areoles, from which come out short tufts of extremely thin thorns, from the shades varying from the almost vitreous white (especially in specimens with reduced illumination) up to the intense yellow ( when solar radiation is massive). In spring R. minuscula produces pretty and abundant flowers around the base on the notes of fuchsia or red.
