It's labelled Cintia subterranea, although it seems to be just the same as C. knizei.

Cintia
This is in flower today - but none of my Sulcorebutias are, despite this supposedly being genetically close to them.

Re: Cintia
You really got a jump start on the year! I have Sulcorebutia buds, but nothing on Cintia. Will check again tomorrow in case I missed some because they come fast. I have given a little water but not pushed these because it is so early.

Re: Cintia
My Cintia was first to flower this year, about a month ago, but looks shrivelled and pale. Do you grow in sun or shade Ralph?

Re: Cintia
Mine's in the sun. In habitat they are well down in the loose rock (indeed, I failed to find any when I went looking), but it's much brighter (and higher with more UV) there than here.
