cactus heaven ID

[paradox]

keen to hear opinions regarding some of these

pics are far from ideal for id unfortunately as i didn't have much memory in my camera. when i go back there shortly i will get more detailed pics for ID purposes.

1.

2.

this one appears to be one of the many pachanoi varieties we see floating around. the one with the distinctive, longish, thin needle-like spines.

i believe this is the same variety- different individual:

as is this:

3.

id be interested in what 3 is... as I have a very similar cutting, which I, for some reason, assumed to be a cereus

[bit]

2 - true pach!! :D

3 appears to be the same as this, a peruvianus of some kind, possibly cuzcoensis

the third pic is actually a close up of one of the branches of the 2nd pic.

1. looks very similar to what I know as T. knuthianus

[bit]

I'll go out on a limb here and say T.chilensis for number 1..

[teonanacatl]

2 looks alot like the short spined peruvianus, or as michael would say the real pachanoi.....

[XipeTotec]

3 looks quite similar to the kk242 cuzcoensis is trusha's thread http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/inde...c=15892&hl= what do u guys think? am I right in thinking that common consensus of activity on that species is "very poor"?

I think I got #1! It is possibly T.peru SS03

no doubt about #2 (gimme gimme gimme)

IMO #3 is either percuzcoensis or maybe the blue form of peru

#4 please tell me!

and as for #5 pretty sure its peru, possibly another perucuzco. A closer of the spination might help.
