M S Smith Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I found this excessively small photo of a plant claimed to be Trichocereus tulhuayacensis at http://oreopanaxperu.blogspot.com.es/, but question it's accuracy since T. tulhuayacensis has been described as coming from Peru, 10 km from Huancayo, near Huacha in Junín region, which is in central Peru east of Lima, though on the east side of the Andes. oreopanaxperu states that the plant in their photo comes from the Distrito de Yunga in the Moquegua Region of far southern Peru. I'm not sure what to think of this and simply thought to share.I know there are other posts that touch on this species, but thought maybe if others wanted to share more about the species or their particular plants they could do so here.Here's a plant from Junín that I have suspected may be T. tulhuayacensis.~Michael~ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I think his Plant comes from knize and it´s the KK Plant from Knizes List. Which is probably authentic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M S Smith Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 (edited) From Backeberg's Cactus Lexicon:T. tulhuayacensis Ochoa (1): Bo. to 2 ash., branching from low on the Bo., with a short trunk, dark green; branches to 12cm 25; Ri. (7—)8(—.9), to 1 cm h., to 3.5cm br.; Ar. to 8 mm long., yellowish at first, then grey, surmounted by a curving depression, prominences sometimes reddish; Rsp. 8, 1.5—2.5 cm long.; Csp. 3-4, to S.5cj8) cm long.; Sp. mostly directed downwards, longest one more porrect, whitish-grey, otherwise yellowish at first, dark-tipped; H. fairly large, stoutly funnelform, light pink, ivory-white towards the throat, with black and greyish-brown H.; Fr. 4.5 cm 25, dark green, with brownish H.; S. glossy, black. —Peru (10 km from Huancayo, near Huachac, 3400 as).From Sacred Succulents website.Trichocereus tulhuayacensis KK337 (B13): A very spiny upright peruvianoid from Huachac, Peru. A cutting was given to us by a friend who had gotten a small piece from Knize in Lima, Peru for $100! It was said to have red flowers, which seemed unlikely. We were pleasantly surprised when the plant finally flowered in 2008, with a bizarre red, pink and white mottled blossom. This is our very first offering of this unusual variety. Get one while you can.6″ cutting $28 (limited)Here's some comments and pictures of T. tulhuayacensis by Evil Genius.http://www.shaman-australis.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27570&p=299565~Michael~ Edited January 10, 2015 by M S Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Hi Michael, it´s possible that Trout gave it to them after he made a pretty big Plant order from them. I think i remember that he was injured pretty badly by his KK337 because it fell off a Rack. It has Killer Spines and i still cringe when i think about that Story.

zelly Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 question it's accuracy since T. tulhuayacensis has been described as coming from Peru, 10 km from Huancayo, near Huacha in Junín region, Is it possible the plant has several sources of origin, one being discovered by one person, the other by another person?

M S Smith Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Is it possible the plant has several sources of origin, one being discovered by one person, the other by another person?Possibly, but maybe not likely as the two locations are separated by some 1200 km.~Michael~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunter Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 One of the more interesting and mysterious plants in the complex. I wonder if we can breed something similar with the right genetics...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Genius Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes. 100% sure! Yes we can and unlike when politicans say it, this is the truth! ;) We will breed some awesome flowers in the next few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teotzlcoatl Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Perhaps I will go and visit the location near Huancayo! Anything else I should look out for while there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
