0 Yeti101 Posted October 8, 2008 I'm not sure. But it doesn't look like any Trich sp I can think of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 sharxx101 Posted October 8, 2008 Yeah it is a weird looking cactus and it has pups popin out from all angles. It has never flowered either and I have had it for years. bit of a slow grower aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Patrick Posted October 8, 2008 looks like a trichocereus brevispinus , some of the spines are a little longer then on mine but that could be climate possibly or could be a variation of brevispinus i believe there is also a trichocereus brevispinus v.imperialis ,I havent had a chance to look around the net to find any pics but im sure there out there.Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Teotzlcoatl Posted October 8, 2008 I don't think it's Trichocereus brevispinulosus.... Look! ...I don't even think it's Trichocereus. If it was Trichocereus brevispinulosus, it'd grow faaaaast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Ace Posted October 9, 2008 Stetsonia coryne was my first thought, however yours has a lot of ribs - seemingly excessive in comparison to google results for S. coryne. I doubt its Trich/Echinopsis, however there are a lot of lesser known ones out there so it's possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Yeti101 Posted October 9, 2008 I don't know the technical term, but I think the spination looks wrong for any Trichocereus - the way that there are bigger spine coming out and then smaller spines at a flatter angle..reminds me of one of my Mamillaria's more than anything else (the spination, not the rest of it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 bit Posted October 9, 2008 Looks like a trich to me. Very similar to grandiflorus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 t st tantra Posted October 9, 2008 hard to say........reminds me of a white spined trich huasca but those spines seem to thick? huasca has another non trich name anthocereus huasca v rubra ? t s t . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Patrick Posted October 10, 2008 well teotz you are right ,I just never checked the identification of mine before til now ,mine is similar to the one in sharxx101's photo ,I cant think of the vendor i got it from at the moment ,and now that i think about it this wouldnt be the first tricho i got from him that turned out to be different then what he was selling it as.Patrick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
