Description: The typical Gymnocalycium anisitsiiSN|13315]]SN|13315]] subs. damsii, (best know as Gymnocalycium damsiiSN|13319]]SN|13319]]), is a plump species with somewhat rounded ribs. It is a very free-flowering cactus and may be solitary or freely offsetting.
Variegated form: Variegated Gymnocalycium anisitsiiSN|13315]]SN|13315]] subs. damsii are cultivated for their beautiful stem that have sectors, patches or stripes of different colours, yellow, pink, red, purple and green. There are several forms of variegation. The extent and nature of the variegation can vary, and sometimes the plant will return to the green form. In others it is stable and does not change under normal conditions. Flowers are produced only on the crown of mature specimens. Variegated specimens are sometime grafted on stronger species, called the stock, that can be any number of different columnar cactus.
Subspecies, varieties, forms and cultivars of plants belonging to the Gymnocalycium anisitsii group
Gymnocalycium anisitsii is a very polymorphic species with a large range of variability. Two subspecies are recognized, the nominate form and subsp. multiproliferum. There seems to be very little justification for vars. centrispinum, rotundulum, torulosum and tucavocense. Gymnocalycium griseopallidum from the salt-pan desert area on the Bolivia-Paraguay borders may well be another variety or local form which has become adapted to the peculiar local conditions of that region.
