Which Cactus
Looks a whole lot like pachycereus marginatus, BUT, with twice the number of ribs
Thanks
Richard
Anyone know what it is?Thanks
Richard
Re: Which Cactus
Looks similar to Echinopsis cv. Haku-Jo

Re: Which Cactus
Yes Echinopsis Haku-Jo. It can have either normal or monstrose flowers. It is said to be a chimera where two plants tissues are merged. Something that can occasionally occur with grafting when the stock tissue merges with tissue of the scion. Evidently it was then rooted down and propagated from.

Re: Which Cactus
Fascinating. Coincidentally that Bing link shows a Cereus Cephalomacrostibas - a rare plant whose areoles look suspiciously wrong as well (not to mention the flowers).

Re: Which Cactus
Apparently it's a Weberbauerocereus. Some other Weberbauerocereus have similar prominent areoles with lots of felt:

Eulychnias http://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACT ... nt-pieana and Oreocereus can also have close spaced areoles with lots of felt, possibly hidden under hair with Oreocereus.

Re: Which Cactus
OK, so maybe it's synonymous with Weberbauerocereus weberbaueri var. horridispinus.
Re: Which Cactus
When I purchased this, it was listed as Trichocereus cephalomacrostibas. It has a strong resemblance to trich.esp_imaging wrote: ↑Wed Dec 23, 2020 2:10 pm OK, so maybe it's synonymous with Weberbauerocereus weberbaueri var. horridispinus.

Re: Which Cactus
Super plant! When it flowers you will know, maybe soon?
Trichocereus.net discusses this species, reckons it's Weberbauerocereus:

Re: Which Cactus
Could be a while before it flowers as the photo makes it look bigger than is - only 22 cm.esp_imaging wrote: ↑Thu Dec 24, 2020 10:05 am Super plant! When it flowers you will know, maybe soon?
