The
typification of old Copiapoa epithets
|
|
'C. cupreata; Echinocactus cupreatus Poselger ex Hildmann (1885); and
C. coquimbana; E. coquimbana Karw. ex Ruempler (1885).
Both known only from very brief descriptions. The former suggests a form
of C. fiedlerana (E. fiedleranus Schumann, 1903) collected
by Knize (no. 21, as ‘C. cuprea’), but is too poorly typified to
upset the younger Schumann epithet, while the latter could well apply to
either of two plants recorded by Ritter in the vicinity of Coquimbo and
the Rio Elqui. Both names are best abandoned.'

Checklist |

'C. cupreata (Poselger ex Hildmann) Backeb.,
Die Cact. 3: 1920 (1959); Echinocactus cupreatus Poselger ex Hildmann
apud Ruempler in Foerster, Handb. Cacteenk., ed. 2, 602 (1885). Based on a
plant of unknown origin in the collection of Poselger (not preserved).
Typified only by the brief original description:
‘stem globose, dark brown; ribs tuberculate,
notched, tubercles 3-5 mm. high and broad, rhombic with rounded angles, the
lowermost angle produced, nose-like, sinuses sinuate; ar. impressed with
short whitish-grey wool; rad. sp. (5 -) 6, not really at the edge of the
areole, the uppermost short, others longer, bent outwards, dirty yellow
below, brown-black above; cent. sp. 0.’
In the absence of an illustration and
provenance data it is not possible to apply this name with any certainty.
However, the tubercle shape and stem colour described suggest a form of
C. fiedlerana now in cultivation (see illustration, p. 58).' |

(1982)
The Genus Copiapoa, Calandrinia II : 05 |

'C. cupreata
(Pos.) Backb. Plant no.54, map 6. KK 1382.
Body-dark brown, globular, ribs in
rhomboid shapes, divided into tubercles with rounded edges and a
nose-like protuberance; Areoles-greyish.white; Spines-5-6, top
brownish-black, base yellowish, 1.2 cm long, shorter and curved towards
the top of the plant; Habitat-said to be from near the coast in Huasco
Bay.
Note: Britton and Rose said that
this plant was described by Poselger without flower or fruit and that
Schumann believed it to be related to Neoporteria nigricans, yet
Backeberg believed it to be a valid Copiapoa. This would seem to
be a very doubtful species. Taylor (1981) suggests that this could be a
form of C. fiedleriana, now in cultivation.' |
