Sulcorebutia

Sulcorebutia is a small, spherical cactus native to Bolivia's rocky mountain slopes. It features dense clusters of spines and vibrant flowers, ranging from red to yellow, that bloom close to the body. This compact growth habit is an adaptation to its harsh, arid environment, helping sulcorebutia conserve moisture and protect itself from the sun.
