Comments

Given the vast distribution area of Parodia ottonis (Lehmann) N. P. Taylor, and its extreme variability, we believe that the features (depressed-globose stem, flatter ribs, fewer and shorter spines) which differentiate somehow Parodia ottonis ssp. horstii (F. Ritter) Hofacker (Hunt et al. 2006, text: 222; atlas: 313, tav. 313.3, 313.4) are not relevant. The first taxon includes the second, morphologically and geographically: this is the reason why we consider the ssp. horstii as a synonym of P. ottonis. (Quoted from Anceschi & Magli 2010, 29)

Specimens of considerable size: height 17 cm (photos 16-20).

Parodia ottonis (Lehmann) N. P. Taylor represents one of the 62 accepted species in our synopsis of the genus Parodia Spegazzini s.l. (Cactaceae), published in Bradleya 36/2018, pages 70-161. For an update and more informations in our understanding of the taxon (see on pages 128-131, 155), the full text of the article is available here: A synopsis of the genus Parodia Spegazzini s.l. (Cactaceae). (PDF 4.5MB).

October 2018

Parodia ottonis (Lehmann) N. P. Taylor is one of the five dominant species of the genus Parodia Spegazzini. We treated Darwin’s concept of dominant species within Parodia s.l. in our article “Dominant species in Parodia Spegazzini s.l. Cactaceae” published in CactusWorld Vol. 38(4) Special Issue: 3-26 (December 2020). The full text is available here.
