Stenocereus ID help

[Jox]

Hi all, I was just wondering if someone can help me work out a couple of ID's. I have two here I would like to ID, the first is a big cactus which stands at 120cm tall & is about 15cm wide, here are some photos

Stenocereus?

The second one is about 65cm tall & quit thin, I think this is Stenocereus beneckei, I have seen photos of this plant looking almost white (kind of waxy) & I have seen other photos that look very similar to mine. What do you guys think?

Stenocereus beneckei?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Can't really help on solid ID's but just say that those daggerlike spines on No1 looks Myrtillocactus to me.

First one is some kind of myrtillocactus. Second one should be a corryocactus. Not sure which one without a flower pic but probably one of the more common ones.

Thanks guys but you have made me more confused ,

The only Myrtillocactus that might be a contender that I can find might be M.schenckii, but I was sure it was a Stenocereus, possibly S.griseus. Can you please tell me how from looking at those photos you have come to the conclusion that it is a Myrtillo?

I have looked at some photos of Corrycactus & think you've nailed it! Thank you.

Cheers

Spines and the way the pups grow sideways are typical for Myrtillocactus.

Actually i'd be inclined to say the top one was a Polaskia.

Definitely not S griseus

Yep i'd agree on Polaskia for the first one

Thanks guys,

After looking at more photos, Polaskia chichipe seems to fit perfectly ,

Thanks for everyone's help.

Cheers
