Does anyone have a photo of a Tunilla corrugata 'hintonii' in habitat?

Re: Photo of Tunilla corrugata 'hintonii'
Hi Mike;
I was always under the impression that "hintonii" was a cultivar of corrugata. I say this because it is not listed in any specialist books on South American Opuntioides as a sp. ssp. var. or fma. but is always shown in type or listed photo's as corrugata "hintonii" with hintonii always within quotation marks ie the excepted way of giving the name for a hybrid or cultivar. And also all the photos show cultivated plants, when most if not all of the other Airampoa / Tunillas species are shown in both habitat and cultivation. If it was just a geographical form of corrugata with soft white spines then I am sure it would have been listed somewhere as that, but I cannot find any listing as fma.
Having said all that it is a beautiful plant in its own right, even if you must not brush your hand against it !

Yes that does seem to be the case but in putting together a Small opuntia talk I was carrying out some further research and thought it was worth another go.

Re: Photo of Tunilla corrugata 'hintonii'
It does not really matter, but I think we are supposed to list a cultivar in single quotes with a capital letter and not in italics, though few of us ever bother. That is intended to distinguish it from a naturally occurring variety and indicate it is of horticultural origin. Usually too much trouble on forums keep changing to italics for plant names though, but the convention is usually observed in botanical journals like Cactus World.

Re: Photo of Tunilla corrugata 'hintonii'
Thanks Tony I have just replied.
That article puts forward possible sources for the plant none of which seems conclusive. If it was collected one might have expected someone to have stumbled across it again but if it is of horticultural origin I then wonder on its parents. Ditto for 'Pinsel' which is similar but a more extreme version.
