0 myco Posted August 9, 2013 they all look like pachanoi to me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted August 9, 2013 I wouldnt say they are pc. The ones that I have are pc and have small grey and honey yellow spines. Then I have another pc with bigger areole and just str8 gray white spines. So I really dont know what pc looks like. I see the v notch on yours. Someone told me that pc has a certain looking spines I think they point upwards. And I guess huancabamba and others have downward pointing spines. But according to some dude he told me that all pc havve thease upward pointing spines Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted August 9, 2013 (edited) I cant really see the spines on yours. But I really dont think those are pc, at least the first one doesnt look like a pc.. but I cant see it anyways.might wanna wait for the expert to chime in..

0 Bert&Ernie Posted August 9, 2013 pachanoi doesnt mean pc My understanding was pc was a var of pachanoi... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted August 9, 2013 Pc predominant cultivar. It is said That pc isnt the cactus described by br and r. And that the pc is actually a clone of unknown orgin it isnt the bacmberg clon3 either because the backberg clone is closer to what brit and rose discribed.

0 Stillman Posted August 9, 2013 pachanot heres an article. They also show great variation dependent on environment http://www.largelyaccurateinformationmedia.com/pedro/pedro.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 2XB Posted August 10, 2013 The photograph of the cactus I came across at work I believed to be pc because many internet pc images looked similar to my specimen. Having said that there are too images suggesting it may be bonafide t. Pachanoi... I'll get some better resolution photos up of the spines later, but I guess I cannot know for certain until it flowers. I did see the mother plants flower but only from a distance. Regarding the cactus I found at bunnings, I believe this could be t.peruvianus because it looks so similar to a skinny tip of another known t.peruvianus. however not so much like a healthier (fatter) looking samples I have of the same species... I guess there are so many variables, making id's in this manner difficult. The cactus I obtained from a friend I believe is t. Panchanoi, not sure why really, just always got that vibe... Thanks all for the input so far, as I mentioned a couple close ups to come... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 2XB Posted August 10, 2013 Some closer shots of the above cactus (same order). Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 kapitän kamasutra Posted August 10, 2013 i think the third one looks like a pachanot. second is a different pachanoi looking plant. the first looks a bit like pictures of superpedro i have seen here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted August 10, 2013 That third pic has those upward pointing glochs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 2XB Posted August 12, 2013 Thanks all for your input. It does seem my suspicions have been confirmed about that third plant.. The mother plant was enormous and quite attractive. I hope I get to see some flowers soon from my cuttings. Peace! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
