0 sobriquet Posted October 31, 2006 Almost looks a bit like a type of Cereus peruvianus monstrose to my relatively untrained eye. Not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Jack Posted October 31, 2006 definately not cereus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Rev Posted November 1, 2006 T knuthianus ? A nice specimen is in the cacti display at the hobart botanic gdns the second type displayed looks cool no idea what it is at present Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 sobriquet Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) I think this is a Browningia hertlingianus formerly known as Azureocereus hertlingianus. Pics: Peace. PS: I'd love to get a cutting in the future or even a pointer to where I could get one, plant or cutting. Edited November 1, 2006 by sobriquet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Torsten Posted November 1, 2006 I am with rev on the knuthianus. Not because I am familiar with that species, but because of the plant in hobart BG. Although, they also have a peruvianus labelled as bridgesii I think it was.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. Posted November 2, 2006 PS: I'd love to get a cutting in the future or even a pointer to where I could get one, plant or cutting. which plant would you love to get a cutting from? The Browningia hertlingianus, Jacks plant or my cut? I can gaurentee that the cut i have is a Tricho as i have seen the parent plant, i know i should have got a few pics of the parent but sometime the excitement of seeing a strange tricho over rules my thinking. As you can see in the pics the flower bud is typical tricho and the "lumpy" sort of look becomes less pronounced with age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi PD. I'd love a cutting of either or both I think your specimen has very different features to the one Jack posted overall and I agree that it is a Trichocereus. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear that the ID was for the first post. I think the 'knobbly' feature and spines of Jack's plant fit very nicely with the Browningia, but maybe he could comment on its provenance as that may help?

0 teonanacatl Posted November 2, 2006 Ive found that peruvianus develop a knobly look when older, also that bigger plant could have had the spines removed before jack got it as that little one has plenty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 PD. Posted November 2, 2006 On the cut i have, it appears that the younger growth did have more spines, 3 - 7, whilst as it gets older the spines number 1 - 4. On the mother plant the more mature growth far less knobly, even smooth, usually with one prominent spine around an inch long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
