Evil Genius Posted July 4, 2005 Hi Everyone, i´m just wondering if this cactus could be a Trichocereus Camarguensis? Compared with the Pic on Trouts Trichocereus Information Page, it looks a little bit similar to me. The Plant has recently showed some Black Rot on the Tip which i had to cut off. Otherwise its doing fine. Maybe someone has personal experience with the plant. Best Regards Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strangebrew Posted July 4, 2005 Well it does have 14 ribs but you'll have to count and measure the spines yourself. How anyone can workout that their cactus might be this one is totally beyond me! :D http://trout.yage.net/sc/T_camarguensis/T_...ensis_index.htm -------------------------------------------------- Trichocereus camarguensis - B76 /Agurell 69.2 Body: Columnar, light green to 20” (50cm.) high.

Evil Genius Posted July 4, 2005 Thanks for the Infos. I have Problems telling Tr. Spachianus apart from other ones. I never personally had one so maybe i´ll see if i can get one in the future for more personal studies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
