2XB Posted October 5, 2013 Hi all, Hoping someone can name this cactus. I got 2 fat pups that look real cool but no name... All of the real long spines tend to point downwards.. Thanks for any help. DB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mr b.caapi Posted October 6, 2013 " Icaro " Peruvian ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 tizocAu Posted October 6, 2013 Peruvianus. Or if I was to scientifically id it it would be like macroganous peruvianus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 zelly Posted October 6, 2013 2 different plants One in the yellow pot has areoles more closely resembling a peruvianus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 kapitän kamasutra Posted October 6, 2013 (edited) T. macrogonus subsp. macrogonus. ( aka. Trichocereus peruvianus ,sorry for adding confusion...) i like this nomenclature Edited October 7, 2013 by spined Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted October 6, 2013 Definitely two different plants. Regarding the one in the whitish pot, I'm going to stick with it being Trichocereus peruvianus (Britton & Rose 1920) for now, regardless of the name game. The one in the yellow pot looks to be Trichocereus cuzcoensis. ~Michael~ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 Evil Genius Posted October 6, 2013 Yeah i agree with Michael. Would put the second one into Cuzcoensis too. Very nice Ones! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 2XB Posted October 6, 2013 Hey dudes, I was pretty certain both cuts were taken from the same mother (not 100% as I didnt take the cuttings). Looking closely the yellow pot (which is the about 50-60% smaller than the other) clearly has brown brown wool on the areoles. The larger cut in the white pot has predominantly whiter wool but does however have brown wool on the new growth.... Its interesting that there is a few suggesting peruvianus. I was hoping it was, but it looks nothing like cactus i have labelled as peruvianus. I have none growing in the ground though. All of mine seem to have more golden brown wool and none with that sweet blue colour.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 M S Smith Posted October 7, 2013 I bet your other T. peruvianus is mislabeled. Put up a picture. ~Michael~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
0 mutant Posted October 7, 2013 probably peruvianus/cuzco , and I did not think its two different plants did you notice the one cactus is wet (darker areoles) while the other is dry... ?? they're too small to really tell. its helpful to have both new and older areoles in an ID photo cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
