Many years ago, this mutant appeared as a
result of a grafting. It was made from Gymnocalycium
mihanovichii v. fleischerianum and Echinopsis tubiflora. There
are other chimera; Gymnocalycium mihanovichii v. fleischerianum
and Hylocereus guatamalensis, Ariocarpus
retusus and Echinopsis eyriesii. Circumstances which cause
the chimera to appear include huge numbers of graftings. I have
heard that cutting on stock's growth apex in rare instances made
a few. However, nobody has succeeded to make chimera on purpose.
The pictured plant was cut off from mature chimera. Both are growing
well on their own roots.
