Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From Bolivia, R. muscula is characterized by soft white fuzzy spines and orange flowers from Spring and often through the Summer. Some (not us) consider this to be within the R. fiebrigii complex and it's had a plentitude of synonyms: Rebutia permutata, Rebutia wessneriana var. permutata, Cylindrorebutia nicolai, Aylostera muscula, and Rebutia nicolaii.
