terscheckii, by accident

[slice]

hey, not too used with this group but is the only thing I can think of, but not sure.

sowed 2 years ago a couple of trays of Achuma seeds from SS, think they where being described as a sort of bridge... it would be the first mislabeling from them, a nice one...

re the achuma seeds from SS, dont think you're alone ogun......several years ago I traded some seedlings with a guy who traded back a bunch of SS seedlings, these two were labeled Wild Bolivian Bridgesii.....

I have a few specimens which may (visually) demonstrate some of the confusion regarding the identities of these cacti in southern Bolivia and northern Argentina.

It may be that Bolivian cacti are much more diverse in appearance, and possibly genetics, than was previously thought.

These two photos show plants that look similar to zelly's which were sourced from Bolivian seed and provided to me by an old time cactus collector.

These were labeled as: T. Werdermannianus

Below is a Bolivian "Terscheckii" from Succseed which looks less spiny than the "Werdermannianus"

Now a "typical" Terscheckii from northern Argentina, from seed collected at Valle Fértil, San Juan Province, Argentina.

AZS, I think the last two pics are tacaquirensis... the first pic, "werdemanianus" could also be some form of taquimbalensis... beautiful specimens everyone
