Is it Gymnocalycium?

Post by A1essandro »

Hi everyone!

I think that it is a Gymnocalycium but I cannot find same by photos on llifle.

I'm starting to doubt.

I would say it is a gymno. I have 2 that have identical bodies to this, just with different spines. I'm far from an expert though, so hopefully someone else will chime in.

Maybe G. schickendantzii ssp delaetii?

Thank you for reply!

I looked to this species at https://cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus=Gy ... kendantzii and third photo is very similar I think.
Also as I understand this species is much variety.

I agree with the ID, and you're right - it's a highly variable species. Looks like you've got a really spiny one. :)
