× Chamaelobivia tanahashii Y.Itô[2]

× Chamaelobivia is a hybrid genus of flowering plants in the family Cactaceae. It is an artificial hybrid between Chamaecereus and Lobivia.[3] The genus name was first published by Yoshi Itô in 1957.[1]

Many cultivars have been produced from crosses between Chamaecereus and Lobivia, particularly at the Southfield Nursery in Lincolnshire, whose cultivar names usually begin 'Lincoln', e.g. 'Lincoln Gem'.[4][5]

Appearance

All × Chamaelobivia cultivars grow from a small, "peanut-like" cactus and have a medium-to-large flower on the top.
