Cactus ID pls?

Question

Howdy folks. My first post here.

I was hoping you could assist me with a species ID on my cactus. Sorry if this is totally obvious but I am an amatuer in such matters.

Here it is.

I would be grateful for any help provided.

Hello nonslipsole, hahahaha awesome name dude. :lol:

To me that plant looks like a T. pachanoi, then again it could be a T. scopulicola, its a bit hard to tell from the pics, but i would go with T. pachanoi.

Can you get a close up of the spines?

Definitely a Pach IMO, curious to know what makes you think it might be Scop PD?

How do people tell the difference between Trichocereus and plain old Cereus species??

Is it not possible that this might be a Cereus variety?

perhaps NonSlipSole can fill us in on the provenance of this plant to help?

Look at a bunch of photos of Cereus, and compare them to a bunch of photos of Trichocereus, the differences will be quite obvious.

There are quite a few diferences but some obvious ones are deeper ribs, white/beige areol fluff and no hair on flower stems

Yeah, this is no cereus

Definetely pach with a mere possibilty of a scop cross, would like to see closer detail of the ribbing to be sure, But I would say a straight Pach from these photos
