This thing has several forms that all were started from seeds Harry Johnson Sr brought back to the US in the 1950s. It seems to be all over the planet now.
It can be insanely variable even within one form depending on where it gets grown.
It gets easily as fat (and often fatter) as any peruvianus. It can have no spines or long spines but usually not many per areole.
It looks sort of like a sparsely spined macrogonus and sort of like a bridgesii on steroids.
I'll get a bunch more images posted but want to focus on where this all started for me before returnign to this.
Here is one for starters. Please be patient with me for more images as they will come.

Hmmm I've posted pics of my huanucoensis in various threads at sab, perhaps I should post them in this thread as well... in no particular order other than last years growth & bloom cycle first,

My plants are a little like chameleons, taking on a different look as sun intensity changes and responding to fertilizer with much longer and tougher spines.
