Description

Lobivia tegeleriana grows singly or sometimes forms small groups. The spherical, green shoots reach a diameter of up to 9 centimeters. They form a large taproot. There are around 16 clearly skewed ribs, which are divided into hatchet-shaped cusps. The areoles on them are elongated and are up to 1.7 centimeters apart. Ten to twelve horn-colored, slightly curved thorns emerge from them, have a darker tip and are 1 in 2 centimeters long. The longest spine is occasionally hooked.

The red to orange or yellow flowers have a more or less pink-orange throat and appear on the sides of the shoots. They are up to 4 centimeters long. The flower tube is short in relation to the flower bracts. The spherical, green fruits are thin-skinned and juicy. They usually become thorny as they mature and reach a diameter of up to 2.5 centimeters. [2]

Distribution

Lobivia tegeleriana is widespread in the Peruvian regions of Lima, Junín, Huancavelica and Ayacucho at altitudes above 3000 meters.

Taxonomy

The first description by Curt Backeberg was published in 1936. [3] The specific epithet tegeleriana honors the Hamburg government councilor Wilhelm Tegeler.
