Notocactus Rutilans Description: Parodia rutilans, best known as Notocactus rutilans, is a small-growing, usually solitary, cactus species. The numerous stiff, sharp spines are varicoloured and the centrals are reddish-brown. The flowers are very showy, 5 cm long, with much white wool along the tubes, and translucent petals, salmon to carmine-red shading to egg-yolk yellow in the centre. The plants are very free-flowering and self- fertile; producing many seeds. When in flower the whole plant shimmers with color and it flowers when quite young. Two subspecies of Parodia rutilans are sometime recognized the nominate form (dull green with 2 central spines) and Subspecies veeniana (bright green with 1 central spine).
Derivation of specific name: The Latin epithet ‘rutilans’, ‘reddish-orange’, presumably refers to the the colour of the spination.

Ribs: 18-24, running spirally and divided by deep furrows, with small chinlike humps.
Areoles: Densely white woolly, later less so.
Central spines: 1 or 2, light reddish brown, straight or pointing slightly downward, lower one stoutest, to 7 mm long.
Radial spines: 14-16, diverging, white to yellowish or gray, with darker tips, to 5 mm long.
Flowers: Salmon, rose or carmine red, with dark tips, buttercup yellow inside, throat paler, 3-4 cm long, to 6 cm in diameter. Pericarpels and floral tubes with white wool and reddish brown bristles.
Fruits: Up to 1.5 cm long.
