Looks like an Euphorbia of some sort. There are many crested ones...

[tipz]

How sure are we that these are scops? They look like pach's or hybrid to me, just never seen a scop with anything but 5 ribs. But i guess I could be wrong, these are the same as what I bought the other day. Look like pach hybrids to my very untrained eye. Pach X scop?

[TheExplorer]

I'm leaning more towards T.pachanoi personally.

[zelly]

t. pach on the first set & euphorbia ingens on the second set.

[Foo]

My partner thought i was crazy but i was talking a Panch scop hybrid, later in the day. I thought it was scopish at bunnings though.

Thanks for the replys, guys

Yeah that one does look pachanoi to me. I've noticed that their little scops look like theyre are becoming more and more hybridised(if thats a word). Ones I was buying 4-5 years ago look to be 100% scopulicola which now have nice inverted areoles.

If you live up the hill like i think, then we have the same local?

[poisonshroom]

Id say the first is a scop. I find them all the time at bunnings, and have a few myself. They tend to gain and lose ribs depending on condtions (not sure which conditions, but mine do it all the time). They get really fat after a year or two and become almost spineless on the top parts

[naja naja]

it's not the areoles so much, although the spines on the bunnings ones I purchaced, seem too long compared to scops I have and scop seedlings I've grown out. All have had inverted spines from a much younger age and I havn't ever seen a true scop that had more than 5 ribs.

MS smith, chime in time

[mr b.caapi]

Scop.

[btotl]

i have one that looks just the same. even lost a rib bout the same place as yours did.

And it was sold to me as scop.

What do you mean by inverted?, downward facing?

I have a "true" scop with 6 ribs at the moment just went from 4 to 6.

I too think its a scop, scops & other cati often have longer spines when young, think of the normaly spineless Lophophora.

What type of pach might those who think it is, be?, does'nt look like your typical peru/equador pach. Superficialy resembels the Pachanot but it is self sterile so would have to be x'd with something?

[M S Smith]

Longer spined form of T. scopulicola for sure...aka, T. cordobensis, Lance, etc.

[Bretloth]

Look like scops to me, short spined ones. Got a few of these from bunnings, one that's a year or two ahead and the older they get the more they look like scops, definatly not lance/cordo/super pedro. Here's some pics, and a scop x pach for comparison.~
