Etymology

For the occurrence near “Yuquina” (the Loma Yuquina?), south of Culpina, Sud Cinti, Chuquisaca, Bolivia (see Eggli & Leuenberger in Willdenowia 38(1): 250. 2008). This new name for Lobivia rauschii was necessary because the combination Echinopsis rauschii already existed. Echinopsis rauschii H.Friedrich (1974) was itself published as a new name for Lobivia pojoënsis Rausch to avoid homonymy with Echinopsis pojoënsis Cárdenas (1959).
