Other nomenclature synonyms are Arequipa aurantiaca (Vaupel) Werderm. (1939), Borzicactus aurantiacus (Vaupel) Kimnach & Hutchison (1957) and Submatucana aurantiaca (Vaupel) Backeb. (1959).

Cultivation

In temperate areas this plant requires some protection from rain and frost, so is best grown under glass in an unheated greenhouse which receives plenty of sun. It is kept dry through the winter, but watered and fed during the growing season, from spring to autumn. In cultivation in the United Kingdom it has been given the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2][6]
