Flower: 20 - 50 mm long, 35 - 50 mm wide; floral tube funnel-shaped yellowish green with tan coloured scales, tepals deep magenta with a clearer throat.
Fruit: Reddish brown, 4 - 5 mm wide.
Phenology: Blossoming time: late spring.

- Sulcorebutia hertusii (Halda & Horáček) Halda & Horáček: Body dark-purple coloured covered by hair-like, white or yellowish, twisted spines.
- Sulcorebutia losenickyana Rausch: has bristly, tight, pectinate spines, pointing diagonally and downward, partially interlaced. Whitish with brownish base, but also golden, brown or almost black. Distribution: Chuquisaca and Potosí.
- Sulcorebutia pasopayana (F.H.Brandt) Gertel: A small-headed low growing, mound forming, cactus that forms large clumps, sometime with hundreds of heads. The flowers are blood red.

- Sulcorebutia rauschii f. aureispina hort.: This form has short yellow pectinate spines on a mauve body. Distribution: Zudañez, Chuquisaca.
- Sulcorebutia rauschii f. cristata hort.: Crested form.
- Sulcorebutia rauschii f. violacidermis hort.: Beautiful selected form with nice and distinctive dark violet body. Distribution: Zudañez, Chuquisaca.
- Sulcorebutia rauschii f. viridermis hort.: Green form. Distribution: Zudañez, Chuquisaca.
- Sulcorebutia roberto-vasquezii Diers & Krahn
- Sulcorebutia tarabucoensis Rausch: has globular stems with a long taproot. Radial spines bristly to 10 mm long, cream or yellowish, pectinated. Blooms red or dark magenta. Distribution: Tarabuco, Chuquisaca, Bolivia.
- Sulcorebutia tarabucoensis var. aureiflora (Rausch) K.Augustin & Gertel: has yellow or yellow and orange red flowers, grey-green epidermis, and yellow to white spines up to 10 mm long. Distrtibution: Tarabuco and adjacent areas, Sucre, Bolivia. = Sulcorebutia callecallensis.
- Sulcorebutia tarabucoensis subs. patriciae B.Bates, Halda, Heřtus & Horáček: Spines yellowish brisly, hairlike. This plant is very similar (if not the same) to Sulcorebutia crispata v. hertusii.

Cultivation and Propagation: It's very difficult to find high quality plants of this species in cultivation, S. rauschii loves a very permeable, coarse mineral soil. It must strictly be kept dry throughout the winter quiescent period since it is very sensitive to any moisture excesses, To prevent rottenness it is also advisable to surround its root neck by very rough sand or grit. This helps a fast water drainage and an appropriate air circulation.
For its sensitive roots this species is frequently grafted to avoid root problems. Plants grafted on Opuntia compressa are easy to grow and quite frost hardy -5 (-10)° C
Watering Needs: Water moderately in the growing season, keep dry during the winter rest
Frost Tolerance: Overwinter in a cool place (at 0/10°C). This is important for the flowers as well as for plants' health. Without this cool winter period they normally won't get any buds.
Propagation: Seed, cutting, grafting.
Sun Exposure: Needs a full sun exposure (light shadow may be useful in the hottest summer days)
Propagation: Seed, cutting, grafting.
