ID help

Post by luigonz »

hello,

I bought some plants from a local nursery in Houston and they didnt have any labels.

Any help with identification would be much appreciated.

thanks. :D

4 is a Notocactus (Parodia in modern classification)

2 may also be a Notocactus of the crassigibbus group.

#4 Noto rutilans - several very similar species (probably synonyms now)
#3 Lobivia of some kind, may be a hybrid
#1 is indeed a Frailea, but I wouldn't dare guess a species
