Comments

The distribution known for Parodia claviceps (F. Ritter) F. H. Brandt is: Brazil (Hunt 1999a, 252), and more specifically Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul (Anderson 2001, 552). The surveys we conducted in Brazil (Rio Grande do Sul) and Argentina (Misiones) showed that the populations usually attributed to Parodia schumanniana (K. Schumann) F. H. Brandt, living in northeast Argentina in the P. P. Teyú Cuaré (Kiesling 1995, 67: 22), are indeed to be identified with P. claviceps (see comparative scheme), here in its most north-west area, about 250 km as the crow flies from its western-most detection in the Rio Grande do Sul state (Brazil) in the municipality of Jaguari. It is conceivable, as already suggested by Larocca (1998, 64), that in the Serra do Pirapó and in the valleys of the rivers Ijuí and Icamaquã, which lie between the two sites mentioned above, additional populations of P. claviceps that have not yet been identified migh be uncovered. (Quoted from Anceschi & Magli 2010, 21-26)


Our deepening on the distribution areas of P. claviceps is published in “Observations concerning Parodia (Eriocactus)” on The Cactus Explorer 7: 27-39 (2013).
