Question

Found a couple of unlabeled flats at work and was curious as to what they were. Co-worker had no idea either :P

Yeah, Cipocereus bradei. Very cool and really rare! Second one is Myrtillocactus geometrizans. Maybe var. cochal but It´s really variable and the separation of Myrtillocactus cochal & geometrizans is probably not justified anyway. So yeah, Myrtillocactus geometrizans.

#1 very nice cacti!

#2 I say definately NOT myrti geometrizans, I would say rather not M. cochal, and maybe not even a Myrti..

EG why do you say them geometrizans and cochal are not distinct?

I am not sure they are all the same species/genus in this batch.. I would say they are some Polaskia, perhaps chipchipe or some Stenocereus which was mentioned
