Rebutia is a genus in the family Cactaceae, native to the hills and mountains of the eastern side of the Andes Mountains in Bolivia and Northern Argentina. The genus Rebutia is one of the most popular in cultivation. They do extremely well in pots and rockeries. They are generally small, colourful cacti, globular in form, which freely produce flowers that are relatively large in relation to the body. They have no distinctive ribs, but do have regularly arranged small tubercles. They are considered fairly easy to grow and germinate freely from seed. 

         

The genus is named after P. Rebut, a French cactus dealer and expert from the 19th century. After the recent incorporation of the genera Aylostera, Bridgesia, Cylindrorebutia, Digitorebutia, Echinorebutia, Eurebutia, Gymnantha, Mediolobivia, Mediorebutia, Neogymnantha, Rebutia, Reicheocactus, Setirebutia, Spegazzinia, Sulcorebutia and Weingartia into the genus Rebutia, there are now around 60 species in the genus.

All the species need a gritty, well drained, slightly acidic cactus soil. They also need strong light, although generally not too much direct sunlight. They need good watering in summer, but you should allow the soil mixture to dry out between watering. 

Rebutia canigueralii is a small headed, low growing, clumping species with mostly bicoloured flowers in orange, red or purple with a yellow throat, but the amount of red vs. yellow varies widely. This is a highly variable species with several varieties available with light green to purple colouration and small spines. Synonyms amongst a myriad others include Sulcorebutia canigueralii and Weingartia canigueralii. The specific name "canigueralii" comes from its discoverer Father Juan Cañigueral, priest at Rocoleta in Sucre, Bolivia.
