cactus id Greenhouse Botanical Garden of Antwerp (1)

Post by ohugal »

Hi Everyone,

In a few weeks I will start working as a volunteer in the greenhouse of the Botanical Garden of Antwerp. You can find a dedicated topic here: https://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=46666. The plan is to reopen it to the public and ensure the future of the cacti and succulents. One of the first steps is to identify as much succulents as possible. Due to neglect, a lot of labels have been lost. I try to do as much homework as possible, but I will be posting requests on a regular basis. It is too much work to do by oneself. I hope everyone understands. Thanks!

Thanks!

Loxanthocereus acanthurus is apparently synonym to Cleistocactus acanthurus (which is now the accepted scientific name).
