0 ErraneousHerbalist Posted October 17, 2011 Is Gringe a cross between cringing and grimacing? "verb. to whine, to winge, to complain" Yeah I paid 50cents ea, couldn't pass em up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

0 Gunter Posted October 17, 2011 some type of rebutia for the first one, i'd guess Rebutia muscula or a hybrid of it i can't see enough detail for the second one, maybe a Dolichothele Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted October 17, 2011 Would also say its Rebutia. Second one looks a little bit like Coryphanta Macromeris. Or something close to that. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Psylocke Posted October 17, 2011 I was also going to say some form of Coryphantha for #2, but not sure of species. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Quixote Posted October 20, 2011 "verb. to whine, to winge, to complain" Surely you mean "cringe"? I cannot find "Gringe" in any dictionary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Moses Posted October 21, 2011 plant no.2 could be trichodiadema densum Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Hellonasty Posted October 22, 2011 The first one is most definitely Notocactus Scopa the variant (Many pups) has a few different names but in Australia most people call this plant Notocactus Scopa Var Prolifera second one is hard to ID due to if being small/immature, but I think is most likely a immature Mammilaria Gracilis which is very common in Australia.

0 Gunter Posted October 23, 2011 The first one is most definitely Notocactus Scopa the variant (Many pups) has a few different names but in Australia most people call this plant Notocactus Scopa Var Prolifera doesn't noto scopa have a woolly areole? how do you tell it apart from Rebutia muscula?

0 ErraneousHerbalist Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) I've been doing some study and it looks most similar to the following pictured cactus: an Echinocereus Hyrbid. Thoughts? Edit: Echinocereus triglochidiatus var. mojavensis x E. albispinus (462A x 86) Edited October 26, 2011 by ErraneousHerbalist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 ErraneousHerbalist Posted October 26, 2011 Surely you mean "cringe"? I cannot find "Gringe" in any dictionary. Must be kiwi slang Yeah, that's the one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted October 26, 2011 Hi Herbalist, i am very sure its not an Echinocereus of some sort. I think its really notocactus scopa. No 2 could like moses indicated either be trichodiadema densum or some coryphantha. bye Eg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 prier Posted November 1, 2011 The first one is. parodia scopa v. marchesii. if the second one has large yellow flowers it is Mammillaria surculosa. somewhat rare and may be of ethnobotanical interest. I've been growing it for years but haven't experimented further yet. It used to be a dolicothele, which have been known to be used as peyote substitutes.
