Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Gymnocalycium, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: 1 in-range record, none placed to within 10 km.

Natural habitat

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 1 georeferenced record inside the native range; none carries a licence permitting republication, so the map shows no points. 1 record outside the range (gardens, roadsides, misidentifications) ignored. Under a dozen records: treat the map as indicative. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 1 in-range record is placed to worse than 10 km and stays on the map but off the climate.
