Rebutia marsoneri

A nice clump in my collection
     Native to Argentia, Rebutia marsoneri is very similar in appearance to Rebutia candiae, but the body is more green and the heads a bit smaller. It's also a heavy offsetter. Heads are generally 1 to 1-1/2 inches around. I haven't seen flowers yet but read they are red or yellow.
      Unfortunately this one succumbed to stem rot. I was able to salvadge a few offsets though.
