0 Philocacti Posted April 15, 2015 I asked him if they're Pelecyphora and he said they're not. I can't trust his I'd though cuz he calls Stenocereus, Lamero. However the spines on these don't look like the regular Pelecyphora spines. I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 15, 2015 Stenocereus was originally called Lemairocercereus. I guess that´s what he might have meant. And the first one is epithelantha micromeris or bokei, just like berengar said. Second one is a Blossfeldia. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the first one is epithelantha micromeris or bokei, just like berengar said. Second one is a Blossfeldia. So that's why. What's really strange is that he and another cacti nursery owner call melted wax bridgesii and pachanoi lemairo as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted April 19, 2015 maybe #1 could be some turbinicarpus?? I should search for the species though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Berengar Posted April 19, 2015 No way. Only T. pseudopectinatus or T. valdezianus could look somewhat similar, but this is Epithelantha 100%. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
