0 bit Posted May 15, 2007 really??not cuzcoensis ? Not likely at all. Very hard to be 100% on such a small specimen though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Conan Troutman Posted May 15, 2007 Not likely at all. Very hard to be 100% on such a small specimen though. isnt the spination distinctive at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Conan Troutman Posted May 15, 2007 thanks for the help guys it only took me all night, I suspect Echinopsis chiloensis, http://f-lohmueller.de/cactus/Echinopsis/imf_c45.htm this cacti taxonomy is getting easy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 xerimyco Posted May 15, 2007 (edited) It's a tersheckii. Trichocereus chiloensis. Close-up of the meristem of the above plant. A small tersheckii. A couple very small (and not too nice) terscheckii. Small tersheckii and small candicans look very similar, but as they get larger, tersheckii grows columnar and candicans creeps along the ground. Since you said the mother plant was a columnar (I can also see a columnar looking base in the photo), I'd bet tersheckii.Sorry I don't have a photo of candicans right now to post.

0 Conan Troutman Posted May 16, 2007 it has many spines for a tersheckii? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted May 16, 2007 Conan, I think it T. chiloensis as well. T. chiloensis has somewhat variable growth habits, but this looks like your standard form. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
