FR1055 (Collector Friedrich Ritter) Morro Moreno, 02 Antofagasta, Chile. Even if the original plants came from habitat, many of the specimens now in cultivation are hand pollinated and it is hard to believe there isn't some contamination going on under these conditions. That isn't to say this isn't vexata, or is, just that some no doubt are hybrids.
