0 marsha Posted January 13, 2007 (edited) misleading false identification by me ! erased lol Edited January 13, 2007 by YoWiE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 transDiMenTional Posted January 13, 2007 i say not. but i cannot id. i think maybe Turbinocarpus lophophoroides ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 nothinghead Posted January 13, 2007 The spines indicate that it is not lophophora williamsii. The spines do look very similar to turbinicarpus lophophorides but the ribs and colour look at bit off to me. Also it is a little hard to tell scale but it looks too big to be t. lophophorides.. Perhaps it's one of those rumored hybrids I've heard so much about and seen so little of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cacti only measures 4 cm across x 3 cm high Edited January 13, 2007 by shroomytoonos Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 XipeTotec Posted January 14, 2007 Matucana madisoniorum.I have a nice one myself. ~Michael~ thanks Michael, I read a report saying that a specimen was tested revealing no mescaline, does anyone know if it is active, has anyone consumed it? regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Ace Posted January 14, 2007 Thought I might add a picture of Matucana madisoniorum for those who cant be bothered searching Very nice and does resemble a loph, though very different flowers. I take no credit for the above pic - it was found via google image search, used without permission. Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
