gerbil Posted November 10, 2003 Hey, can anyone give an ID on this cactus From some pics i've seen, i was thinking t. terschekii, though many others look nothing like it. No idea if it's even a trichocereus. Any guesses would be appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashoka Posted November 11, 2003 It looks like a Trichocereus spachianus to me. I have one very similar and when comparing to images on the google image search engine, I would say it's a T. spachianus.. Ashoka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten Posted November 11, 2003 spachianus definitely possible, but so is huasca and at least one other (which I forgot the name of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thelema Posted November 14, 2003 I find it fascinating that spines on cacti are evolutionary-diminished leaves. The botanical status of the genus is such a mess at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerbil Posted November 16, 2003 thanks for the help guys, i'll have a look around for more info on those species. Will get a photo of the parent plant aswell, could take a while though. Quite an attractive one. thanks again for the help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
