Distribution and systematics

It was first described as Echinocactus multiflorus var. Hybopleurus in 1898 by Karl Moritz Schumann . Curt Backeberg placed the species in the genus Gymnocalycium in 1936 .

Gymnocalycium hybopleurum is an uncertain taxon that has long been believed to be native to Argentina . However, Hans and Walter Till showed that the plants originally described under this name must have come from Paraguay . For the Argentine plants they described the new species Gymnocalycium catamarcense . Urs Eggli recommends that the name no longer be used.
