There are a number of people in the UK breeding the "Black" C. schultzii, but does not actually come from Venezuela. It was first developed in Germany some 10-12 years ago and is currently being bred commercially in the Czech Republic. It is continually erroneously called the "Venezuelan black" which it is not, the species C. venezuelanus does have a naturally dark form, but it is not black.

The C. schultzii "Black" do show up at CSG auctions fairly regularly, the next one takes place in February.
