Weingartia neocumingii Backeberg

Weingartia neocumingii was first described by C. Backeberg in Kakteen und andere Sukkulenten, 2: 2, in 1950. Since then, various authorities have included it in Gymnocalycium, Gymnorebutia, Rebutia, Neogymnantha, and Sulcorebutia and back to Weingartia.

Hentzschel and Augustin (2008) recognise two subspecies: W. neocumingii subsp. neocumingii and W. n. subp. pulquinensis. Within W. n. subsp. neocumingii they recognise two varieties: var. hediniana and var. longigibba. Within W. n. subsp. pulquinensis they recognise four varieties: var. augustinii, var. corroana, var. hentzscheliana and var. lagarpampensis.
