Lobivia hertrichiana is a species of Lobivia found in Bolivia and Peru. [2]
Lobivia hertrichiana grows singly or forms groups. The spherical, shiny medium to light green shoots reach a diameter of up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in). There are about eleven sharp ribs that are grooved transversely, with circular, white areoles. The single, upwardly curved central spine is straw-colored and up to 2.5 centimetres (0.98 in) long. The six to eight spreading, yellowish-brown marginal spines are up to 1.5 centimetres (0.59 in) long.
The short, funnel-shaped, flowers open widely during the day, are up to 6 centimetres (2.4 in) long and 7 centimetres (2.8 in) in diameter. They are colored in various shades of bright red and often have a whitish throat. They produce small, spherical fruits. [3]
Lobivia hertrichiana is widespread in the Cusco region of Peru, western Bolivia, and the Chilean province of Iquique at altitudes of 3000 to 3500 meters.
The first description by Curt Backeberg was published in 1933.
