The Huntington’s 1984 expedition to Bolivia continues to yield choice sulcorebutias as they undergo the slow process of vegetative propagation to generate sufficient quantities for ISI distribution. Here we offer a dark, reddish-brown-spined form (Clone 1) that slowly clumps and bears intense magenta flowers. A few plants of Clone 3, with dark brown, almost black, spines are also available. Rooted cuts of HBG 53130, a plant collected May 11, 1984 by M. Kimnach (# 2817), W. Baker, J. Donald, S. Linden & H. Varney at 7100' near the Río Santa Ana near Aiquile, Dept. Cochabamba, Bolivia. $8.
