zelly Posted June 2, 2013 Blue-gray stems with 7-9 ribs and spines as long as 1.5″. The spines are at first amber red then turn black and eventually gray. Describes this one to a T as in Tricho And given as skinny as it is, I could see where it would go prostrate with age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted June 2, 2013 Humm, got any other info on your plant there zelly? I must admit, I'm a little thrown off by it, particularly by the areole spacing...I'm not even sure it's a Trichocereus to tell you the truth. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cactuscarl Posted June 3, 2013 I've got three labled as glaucas a blue one a green kk (336?) And that red spined thing pictured which I thought we a hybrid I'll take some pics and see what yous think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stillman Posted June 3, 2013 PD had one he called glaucus. I had some seeds but somewhere along the line I lost/killed them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mutant Posted June 3, 2013 zelly what you show looks to my eyes like the same clone as the one Michael showed. Nice plant! I'd love to trade a cutting , than I would prove areole spacing is not a problem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solaritea Posted June 3, 2013 I bought this from Sacred Succulents in 2001. I believe the label said it was T peruvianus from seed. Recently I ID'd it as T. chalaensis (hence the label on the pic) based on columnar-cacti.org and a plant at the Berkeley Botanical Garden. It looks a lot like the T. glaucus pictured here though. Any thoughts about the differences between chalaensis and glaucus? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutant Posted June 4, 2013 solaritea>> in my eyes it seems again like the same or similar clone as shown above my Smith and zelly. so chalaensis = true glaucus ? kk336 / Knize glaucus = some glaucus phenotype of macrogonus ? thanks for input I was looking again at my " KK336 T.glaucus " Its true it would be ID'ed as some form of peruvianus or macrogonus, whatever you consider a true species. But it has special traits. Very round and very protruding areoles / a tubercled bumb for each areole . I should say more when I bring it next to the rest of my peruv / macros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M S Smith Posted June 5, 2013 Still not sure about that one plant, but I might agree with the idea that T. chalensis and T. glaucus are closely related if not the same species or variations thereof. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zelly Posted June 5, 2013 Michael, here's some more pics of the above plant... And here's a pic of what I have labeled as T glauca Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woof woof woof Posted June 5, 2013 Zelly the T.Glauca you have there is what I know as T.Glaucus form the cuttings I received from Knize in 2002. Unfortunately they were not very happy campers and rotted in the wet season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slice Posted June 6, 2013 I thought it was syn. to Uyupampensis... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Genius Posted June 6, 2013 Hi Slice, no it is not. Trichocereus Glauca FR is a very diffrent plant. The plants that are being sold as Trichocereus Glaucus or Glauca are mostly glaucous Peruvianus or Bridgesii. The one in Zellys pics is most likely the plant that Friedrich Ritter described as Trichocereus Glaucus. Will have to get the shitty pics that i have from that plant but it looks a lot like it. It also looks a lot like Trichocereus Chalaensis and Trichocereus Glauca could, like michael suggested, be close to the very variable Group of plants that are labeled Trichocereus Chilensis. Glaucus is an extremely interesting Cactus. bye Eg 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
