Hi. I just got promoted today and I really wanted to share my cactus pictures. It was labeled as pachanoi and reconfirmed as being one by a known member of the cacti community. This particular one is special to me because of its rarity to throw small spines qnd long as stated in the original descriptions for pachanoi. Let me know what you think or if you have any other info on the long spine pachanoi let me know. tizoc4u attached the following image(s):  20130326_104636.jpg (137kb) downloaded 151 time(s). 20130325_183052.jpg (142kb) downloaded 150 time(s). 20130325_160638.jpg (200kb) downloaded 155 time(s).

Nice! What species is that outer left on the lowest picture? Never saw such one on pics before. {EDIT} I just realize that's probably the special pedro...

The one way inthe back is un identified.   Maybe you know more about it heres a close up.

those last two look like the PC, Predominant Cultivar.
that long spine thing... no idea what that is
maybe a hybrid
looks a lot like some hybrids I have seen and also like a form of monstrose peruvianus that gets called pachanoi, or is it monstrose pachanoi that gets called peruvianus...?

I received an email from trout himseld and ms smith and upon looking at my cacti, they infact have id my cacti, and said that it looks like a pachanoi a friend of his collected in ecuador and that are in fact in circulation in horticultures. So upon visual inspection this clone passes the pachanot test with fLying colors and im happy to say thay it is in fact a t pachanoi monstrose cheers

Good to hear your cactus is identified. It's quite confusing. The more I read about the PC / non-pc cacti the more confusing it gets.
In the texts I read, I see that the v shape above the spines is a sign of non-pc but on a Trout's ID page you'll see about 4 images where indeed the non v-shape are identified as non-pc but then another one is exactly the opposite, so v-shape above the needles is the PC one. I think Kash linked that image in another topic yesterday.

Alberkloyd claims hes not an expert but I think be really is. And I think he tought me something wbout cacti. I guess its how the spines point downward it makes it pachanoi

Just google the well known ones for photos. Pedro has tiny spines that hardly stick out, Ptorch looks similar but has big spikey spines, and so does bridgessi if i'm right. "Eat your vegetables and do as you're told, or you won't be going to the funfair!"

I am no expert.
Pedro varies a lot, the spines can even be nearly absent or even be kind of long.
There is no easy way to id them to species with certainty.
