prier Posted April 8, 2007 Woo! Tricho ID fun! Just a few out of my collection I know are Tricho's (I've seen the mother plants flower) I'm just trying to find out some species names. hehehe... just kidding... The spines on the mother plant of this cutting sometimes got to be about twice as long. Some kind of peruvinoid? This was given to me labeled as T.longispina but it looks nothing like the T.longispina pics I've found. T.huasca maybe? The spines on this are usually about two cm long and really thin. I was given a label for this but I can't find it, i think it was something like T.boliviopsis maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 8, 2007 Hi Prier, No. 1 is a cereus. But i think you knew that allready. No. 2 is a Peruvianoid. It looks similar to Trichocereus Knuthianus but i think it could also be a KK Plant. KK242? No.3 looks like a Peruvianus x Macrogonus Hybrid. I have no idea what no 4 is. Probably Echinopsis or Lobivia. No.5 looks like Huascha or some Huascha Hybrid. No.6 is a nice Scop. I like it. No.7 looks like Lobivia or Echinopsis. bye EG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. 6 Deffinately not a scop, this plant was damaged when I transported it home. The mother plant deffinately has spines 1-3cm long and very thin. I can see how you could think it was a scop though... Edited April 8, 2007 by prier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted April 8, 2007 (edited) Hi Prier, there are a few plants that are known as grandiflorus. I just googled some pics of grandiflorus and some of them looked like your plant. It definately isn´t the true Trichocereus Grandiflorus. Flower pics would help. Concerning the plant i´ve just called a scop, i have to say that i´m sure that some scop variations do have small spines. But not as long as the ones you´ve witnessed on the motherplant.Now, I am confused as this one looks like it has a scop in it. It also looks pachanoid. Your definately right about that. I don´t know the exact species name of this particular one. Btw, How did the motherplant of No 7 looked like? It´s an interesting plant. If it´s really a Trich, i´d love to know the species name. It looks like it belongs to lobivia. Edited April 8, 2007 by Evil Genius Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Amulte Posted April 8, 2007 LOL yeah he knew what #1 one was LOL #2 looks almost like Cereus but doesnt #3 does appear Peruvianus spines on #6 from description sound too big for scop so id this pach 34,#5 & #7 i cannot even guess LOL even tho ive got the same species as #7, ive been unable to ID it myself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted April 8, 2007 2 - Perhaps chilensis? 4 - Pascana? 6 - Definitely scop in there - poss peru/pach scop hybrid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 XipeTotec Posted April 9, 2007 i would call 3 a macrogonus. 5 i would say u r correct with huasca 6 i would say scop... but u mentioned big spines... so i dont know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 strangebrew Posted April 9, 2007 2. knuthianus 4. Looks like your more typical candicans. 5. Leaning more towards spachianus. 6. Love to see a photo of the mother plant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 paradox Posted April 9, 2007 5. i reckon spach too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 prier Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) 4. Looks like your more typical candicans.5. Leaning more towards spachianus. Sorry for being sceptical but, 4. Doesn't look anything like my candicans, The mother looks kinda like a pasacana with really straight long spines. 5. Doesn't look anything like my spachianus, spines aren't hard enough and they come out at irregular lengths. Thanks all for giving it a go though. I wonder where MS Smith's hiding. I'll have to ask for permission, but I'll see if I can get some shots of the mother plant of 6. Edited April 12, 2007 by prier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 strangebrew Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) Sorry for being sceptical but, Be as sceptical as you want, you're in a much better position to know especially as you've seen the mother plants. Might be easier if you gave us pictures of those. Edited April 12, 2007 by strangebrew Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Mr Stay Puft Posted April 17, 2007 i would say no 2 definately Trichocereus peruvianus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 dqd Posted April 17, 2007 #7 looks a lot like Eriocactus leninghausii (Haage)... My cut lost its long spination for a period but now rooted is resuming said spination (old growth has full spination, followed by newer short spination, then new growth with both) That's my pick anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woo! Tricho ID fun!
Just a few out of my collection I know are Tricho's (I've seen the mother plants flower) I'm just trying to find out some species names.
hehehe... just kidding...
The spines on the mother plant of this cutting sometimes got to be about twice as long.
Some kind of peruvinoid?
This was given to me labeled as T.longispina but it looks nothing like the T.longispina pics I've found.
T.huasca maybe?
The spines on this are usually about two cm long and really thin.
I was given a label for this but I can't find it, i think it was something like T.boliviopsis maybe?
