Another mystery plant I received recently.
This one was provided to me originally ID'd as a Loxanthocereus (=Cleistocactus), but based on the flower that opened last night for the first time, it is clearly a species of Haageocereus.
Anyone have any idea which Haageocereus this might be?
I know they are sometimes virtually impossible to ID precisely, but I figured someone might recognize some specific identifying feature in my plant!
Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Haageocereus ID Help
The two sprawlers are H decumbens and H. tenuis. Gut feeling is that it's H. tenuis. If i get the chance tomorrow I'll have a look at the article in Bradleya from a few years back to see if i can work out the difference between the two.

The first name which popped into my head upon seeing it was H. tenuis as well. Interpret that how you will!
