0 hostilis Posted June 30, 2014 That is a unique looking plant. Doesn't look like a tricho to me. I would have no clue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 T-trich Posted June 30, 2014 Originally I passed right by it.....didn't grab my attention. On the way out I noticed it and really liked its aesthetics! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 mushroomman Posted May 25, 2015 It might be trichocereus litoralis? which is a variety of chilensis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ☽Ţ ҉ĥϋηϠ₡яღ☯ॐ€ðяئॐ♡Pϟiℓℴϟℴ Posted May 25, 2015 i think its beautiful but not a eulichnia i think Trichocereus litoralis too -or at least a hybrid of it... maybe with spachianus or huasca/grandiflorus? and Welcome to SAB T-trich if I haven't already welcomed ya! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 T-trich Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks Thunder Horse....hoping its a Trichocereus litoralis. I guess I will have to wait for some flowers. That is a beautiful plant Solaritea.....one of my favorites. Also, thanks to everyone else for the input and help. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) So this is obviously either Trichocereus Chilensis or Eulychnia Acida and I don´t think you can say it without measuring everything on the plant including spine lenght and stuff like that. Both are almost indistinguishable sometimes and though it´s possible that it´s Eulychnia Acida, I think that it´s Trichocereus Chilensis. In most cases, Eulychnia Acida has needle-like spines and this spination fits more for Chilensis. The net is full of Trichocereus Chilensis pics labeled as Eulychnia so I don´t think that google images is any help with this plant. I think you´ll have to see the flower, which is really different to Trichocereus Chilensis Eulychnia acida has 10 cm diameter and Chilensis 8-12. Chilensis has fiercer spines (golden), 8-12 radial spines and 1 middle spine. Chilensis has 16-17 ribs / Eulychnia acida 10-16.Both plants grow at the same spots and collectors/and phrotographers mix them up ALL THE TIME. And the pics that I have of Eulychnia Acida look totally different in regard to the spination. It also is not a weird Spachianus or Grandiflorus hybrid. If you hear hooves, think horse not zebra., Edited May 26, 2015 by Evil Genius 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
