could you id these please

[obtuse]

Hi everyone,

I purchased these recently

1). This first one looks like a short spine Trichocereus pachanoi, but i'm not so sure having read some of the other id's for cactii in this forum, could be a Trichocereus scopulicola, but i've no idea. And i'm not sure how rough has to be rough.

2). No idea.

3). No idea.

4). This looks like a Myrtillocactus geometrizans, again i don't know enough to say.

The place where i had bought these had generic labels in the pots, so no indication was given to their identity, and the staff had no idea.

Thanks for your assitance,

Cheers, Obtuse

1 is Echinopsis (Trichocereus) scopulicola.

2 I'm not sure about, but somewhat like a Ferocactus, maybe a Thelocactus?

3 looks like it might be Gymnocalycium mihanovichii.

4 is Stenocereus pruinosus.

Thanks Michael

Much appreciated, It's nice to know what they are.

I'd be keen to know more about no.2 . I've had a google for both Ferocactus and Thelocactus, and i can see why it's hard to choose. If anyone else happen to have a better idea on this one i'd be keen to know.

Cheers, Obtuse

No. 2 - My ferocactus has a lot redder/pinker spines, but it could just be growing conditions.
