Comments. Synonyms listed are for Rebutia neocumingii.
The author of this article does not understand the inclusion of this and a lot of other plants in Rebutia neocumingii.
If you look at Rebutia neocumingii on this site you will see images of former Weingartia species as you will if you look at desert tropicles and cactus art.
For me those plants bear no resemblance to the plant featured in this article.
