Description: Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]] var. marchesi W. R. Abraham or Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]] ssp. marchesi (W. R. Abraham) is a local or morphological form of the widespread and variable Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]]. It has a smaller number of ribs (19-28), always within the the natural variation of the species (25-40), and 2-4 whitish central spines, sometimes yellowish. Even this feature does not appear to be exclusive of populations to Trenta y Tres, since other groups of Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]] living in Rio Grande do Sul (Brazil) are described with white central spines, such as Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]] var. ramosus (Osten) Backeberg, (white to dark brown), yellow as Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]] var. daenikerianus Krainz (from yellow to honey-colored), or like Notocactus scopaSN|15901]]SN|15901]] var. glauserianus Krainz, from orange to brownish yellow. For these reasons, the distinguishing characteristics of Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]] ssp. marchesi, appear to fall within the natural variation of Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]] and the taxa that have been considered till now at infraspecific level are synonyms of Parodia scopaSN|15897]]SN|15897]].
Derivation of specific name: This member of the Cactaceae family was given this name in honour of Prof. Eduardo Marchesi, Montevideo, Uruguay, who discovered the taxon.
