That's a Rebutia for sure, probably fiebrigii. That species is so incredibly variable see here for there different images, all very different:

Gunnar knows his stuff when it comes to these types, I think he's probably right.

Wow, I think you've just cleared up a mystery we discussed earlier!

I've had this plant mislabled all along:

http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus ... =mammulosa

I had it listed as P. mammulosa, but I believe you P. herteri is the better choice. We were trying to figure out how it was that I had such pink flowers on an otherwise yellow flowered plant. #-o

The Rebutia is R. minuscula, the first Rebutia to be discovered
