hookahhead Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) reminds me a little of Echinocereus rigidissimus, always thought they looked like they had bugs crawling all over them Edited January 27, 2014 by hookahhead 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hostilis Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Wow. I had no clue about the alkaloids. I just was looking through my new illustrated cacti dictionary and saw it and wanted to grow some. Thanks for the extra info. Now I want that echinocereus as well. Lol. They look like they have centipedes on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Señor Corrochio Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus also has a similar look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamwalker. Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Turbinicarpus pseudopectinatus................looks almost identical to P. aselliformis..........I could go on posting pic's all night....................T.p. had some nice monstrose forms too.............

Guest Señor Corrochio Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Yeah, it's actually also known as Pelecyphora pseudopectinata. I reckon It's much easier to grow and more disease resistant compared to P. asellliformis and has much more beautiful flowers too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M S Smith Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Don't forget Mammillaria pectinifera. http://mammillarias.net/gallery/mammillaria_species.php?searchstring=pectinifera&lg=uk~Michael~ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Señor Corrochio Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Ah wow! I think I've got one of those! It was sold to me as T. pseudopectinatus (rare form) never really made sense till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoOnThen Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I love all of these with their cool spine formations.As Senor Jefferson mentioned you need to always check out the synonyms as we are talking about cacti when one name isn't enough.

Anodyne Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) EDITED BY MODERATOR! NO DISCUSSION ABOUT POTENCY FFS!Huh? The rules: I will not allow discussion on potency of any mescaline bearing cacti, nor on methods to increase potency, or for that matter any questions on injestion of such substances. There is one exception and that is the linking to or discussion of scientific literature on the subject. The removed section was a reference to ethnobotanical texts which specifically said that peyotillo did not contain significant amounts of mescaline and that any medicinal effects must be caused by other, non-mescaline components. So it seems to follow the rules - what am I missing here? Are we just not allowed to say the word "mescaline", even when it's prefaced by a "does not contain..."? Sorry to derail, I'm just not clear what happened back there. Can anyone clear this up for me? EG?

hookahhead Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but I have said this before. Open and honest discussion about relevant topics needs to be allowed to occur. I do not disagree with the rule, but do not believe in the systematic use of the delete key regardless of the situation is the answer either. For those who saw what it said, it was clearly relevant to the information on this forum. I do not believe Dreamwalker in any way intended to encourage everyone to seek this cactus for thrills. Now this information has vanished, and leaves even more confusion around the topic. How are we supposed to further this discussion now, I am sad to know that it will probably die; are you?

hostilis Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Awesome philocacti!!! Crazy lucky. I need to graft some of mine. They grow super slow. Especially the aseliformis. The psuedopectinata grows a lot faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philocacti Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Thanks my friend I only grafted this one cuz it was an albino I running out of room for my grafted and i still want to graft a few ariocarpus seedling from each species, so i dont know how I'll manage that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hostilis Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I am running out of room for my grafted plants too. I have about 70 species/cultivars I started and I need to graft a lot of them, but I don't have enough room. Lol. I can't even graft one of each species. I'm pretty sure I will graft the aseliformis though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyThKid Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hold up hold up. So you guys are saying this Rainbow hedgehog cactus has been found to contain alkaloids such as mecaline?I was previously unaware of this as i own the species and love it very much and im always interested to know which species in what families have been found to contain different alkaloids. its important to document and make it common knowledge among collectors. Its just another part of the plant after all and an important one to it for self defense.Every time the "M" word comes up it should not trigger censorship right off unless its talking about potency or what have you that is in the rules. But When i first came here i mentioned how specific soil additives were important to several species of cacti for proper alkaloid production. I never even mentioned mescaline and i was warned about my post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
