I would agree. The plant in my book labelled T. chiloensis looks nothing like it but others named T. chilensis on the net have the same spines and ribs structure. Seems there are many forms of this plant.

Rev, yeah.

I've noticed spachianus form a distinct spine pattern when you look top down...

Could be a hybrid, but I see the T. chilensis resemblance while looking at columnar-cacti.org ..
