This is one of those species that has been kicked around so much that it is difficult to figure out what the most commonly used Latin name is. We chose to use this very old name instead of G. damsii var. rotundulum and G. anisitsii ssp. damsii and the combinations and permutations thereof. What we know is that it originates from Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay and is a nice little solitary and globose plant with very user-friendly spines and white flowers that may be white or white with purple-white highlights. These plants are seedlings in 3-inch pots.
