Hi,
I have here a wee thing, only identified at the nursery as 'Echinopsis Species'. It currently has 7 ribs, and approximately 10 spines per areole. The spines are very large as you can see. I have attempted to ID this myself via CactiGuides comprehensive species list, and the only ones that really stood out (due to spine size and general description) was Cuzcoensis. I am probably way off, but I wanted to attempt an ID before posting.
Size is approximately 4cm tall, 3cm diameter. Largest spine measures 3cm.
Thank you for any assistance in identifying this cacti!

Re: Unknown Echinopsis Species
Echinopsis candicans would be my bet. It could also be one of the rarer Echniopsis, or a hybrid.

Trichocereus aff. werdermannianus or taquimbalensis IMHO
