Rebutia minuscula f. crestata

The crested shape of this cactus presents the typical compact fan arrangement, which makes each exemplar absolutely unique, never identical to another and for this reason so much appreciated by collectors. In its normal form it is a cactus very widespread in almost all the world, consisting of small size (hence the name of the species) with globose stem, slightly depressed at the apex, tending with growth to become abundantly creating a thick cushion of multiple suckers that do not exceed a few centimeters in diameter. Equipped with numerous tubercles, little pronounced, has small areoles from which emerge short tufts of thorns, extremely thin of shades ranging from almost vitreous white (especially in exemplars with reduced lighting) to intense yellow (when the solar radiation is massive).
