Summary

Weingartia cintia is a small alpine cactus native to the high Andes of Bolivia. The plant was discovered by Karel Kníže in 1969 at an elevation of 4,000 m (13,000 ft) near Otavi, in Potosí Department, Bolivia. However, it was not formally described until 1996 by Jan Říha. The species epithet refers to the town of Cinti in Chuquisaca Department.

Cultivation

Grouped as a cactus or succulent by the genus Rebutia, which is reliably one kind of plant (archetype table). The table holds no figure for this group, which spans too much for one minimum, and no habitat climate is derived yet; no cold floor is given, and no prose comes from the table.

Nothing derived: no habitat climate for this species, and the archetype table has no figure for its genus or family.

Climate across the habitat

No habitat climate can be derived: 4 in-range records, none placed to within 10 km.

Natural habitat

Native range as published by WCVP; the marker is where the records are densest and decides nothing.

Openly licensed records inside the range, framed on where they fall.

Evidence usedThe map marker rests on all 4 georeferenced records inside the native range; the map shows only the 1 openly licensed one, which alone would put the marker 108 km away. Under a dozen records: treat the map as indicative. No climate envelope is derived for this species. 4 in-range records are placed to worse than 10 km and stay on the map but off the climate.
