Etymology

Named by Pierre Rebut for a Mr. Jusbert, a French cactus enthusiast who, according to Karl Schumann (“if I am not mistaken”; Monatsschrift für Kakteenkunde 5, 1895: 143), collected plants in southern Brazil and Uruguay.

This enigmatic plant is sometimes considered a cultivar under the name Harrisia ‘Jusbertii’.
