''''' Weingartia''''' is a genus in the family [[Cactus|Cactaceae]], with species native to [[Bolivia]] and [[Argentina]]. It was formerly included in ''[[Rebutia]]'', but [[Molecular phylogenetics|molecular phylogenetic]] evidence suggested that it was distinct from that genus. {{As of|2024|December}}, it was treated as separate genus by [[Plants of the World Online]],<ref name=POWO_295618-2/> and recognized as an alternative generic name in the third edition of the ''CITES Cactaceae Checklist''. It may also be treated as ''Rebutia'' subg. ''Weingartia''.<ref name=Hunt16/>
== Description == [[File:Succu Weingartia lanata 01.jpg|thumb|''[[Weingartia hediniana]]'' (syn. ''Weingartia lanata'') in flower]] Plants usually solitary. Stems globose to oblong, to 20 cm high and 15 cm, rarely 30 cm in diameter, fresh green. Ribs 12 – 18, spiraling, forming distinct tubercles. Areoles on the tubercle in excentric position, sunken in its higher part. Spines more robust and thick, 7 – 35 in one areole, radial spines 1 – 3 cm long, central spines 3 – 4, to 5 cm long. Flowers borne near the stem tips, one areole can produce up to 3 flowers, golden yellow to orange to reddish yellow, 1 – 3 cm in diameter.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Morrison |first=David |last2=Kharrassi |first2=Youssef El |date=2023-09-22 |title=Weingartia Cacti: The Ultimate Guide to Care, Propagation, and Varieties - The Cactus Encyclopedia |url=https://www.cactusclassification.science/weingartia/ |access-date=2024-10-27 |language=en-US}}</ref> Floral tube scales broad and imbricated. Fruits globose to ovoid, brownish. Seeds oblong, 1 mm long, black or brown.{{citation needed|date=October 2024}}
==Taxonomy== The genus ''Weingartia'' was designated in 1937 by Werdermann to replace the invalid genus ''Spegazzinia'' <small>Backeberg</small>. All species of the genus ''Weingartia'' were transferred to the genus ''Rebutia'' by the International Cactaceae Systematics Group (ICSG) of the [[International Organization for Succulent Plant Study]].
A study in 2007 indicated that the genus ''Rebutia'' as then defined was polyphyletic. ''Sulcorebutia'' and ''Weingartia'' were kept as separate genera in the study; a summary [[cladogram]] for those species studied is shown below.<ref name=RitzMartMeckGore07/>
