A Few More Puchases

[SavageTurtle]

Hey. I bought 3 new cacti about 3 weeks ago, I originally thought 2 were Gymnocalycium and the other I have no idea about, but the more I look at the 2, the more I doubt they are Gymnocalycium. I have checked around here and elsewhere but am unable to ID them, hopefully someone can figure out what they are thanks. Plant 1 and 2 were the ones i believed were Gymno when I bought them.

#1 - maybe Coryphantha elephantidens
#2 - looks like Gymnocalycium baldianum
#3 - Parodia mammulosa

I think no 1 is either another Gymnocalycium or Thelocactus leucacanthus

1 & 2 look like solitary and massively offsetting variants of the same Gymno.
3 looks like P. mammulosa

Thanks all. Looks like we have a winner for plant 3 but the rest are dividing you as much as they are me. I originally thought plant 2 was a Gymnocalycium Baldianum but the spines were throwing me a bit, although I know Baldianum can be quite variable. Plant 1 is the one I really don't know about. One minute I think it's a gymno, then the next i don't know what it is. Hopefully they will all flower soon and we can get more of an indication.

Maybe better, closer images of #1 can give more? (I also am not sure if it is a gymno or not). I know that there are C. elephantidens that pups easaly around the base like that one but ultimately flowers will give it away

A couple of close ups of plant 1.

1. Maybe a gymnocalycium .

#3 can be also narrowed to Parodia mammulosa ssp.turecekiana distinguished by longer central spines. I would suggest Gymnocalycium andreae for #1 if it blooms with bright yellow flowers

[DaveW]

I think it is the form previously known as N. submammulosus Lucy. N. turecekiana has a lot larger heavier flattened spines.

Thank you everyone. I agree that plant 3 looks like a young Parodia mammulosa subs. submammulosa so I think that one is pretty nailed down. If the others flower in the next few months I will resurrect this post to post photos. I’m hoping they will turn out to be Gymnocalycium’s as I have started a nice little collection of them already and really want to get hold of as many as I can.

Judging by the notchings between areoles, #1 surely is a Gymno.

I hope you are right

Hey again. Neither of the plants have flowers yet, but both have buds. Don't know if these pictures will help, but hoping. Thanks.

The buds definitely says Gymnocalycium
