Hi everyone, I bought a new cactus (in Western Europe) for my collection today. It was sold as a T. Pachanoi for €15. What do you think it is? Some of its main features: - 9 ribs - 8.5cm diameter - white aerioles - very small downward facing spines in the bottom half of each aeriole - V-shaped indentation above each aeriole Funky Monkey attached the following image(s):  CameraZOOM-20130928212010710.jpg (2,678kb) downloaded 109 time(s).

That's the juice. (¯`'·.¸(♥)¸.·'´¯  But suddenly you're ripped into being alive. And life is pain, and life is suffering, and life is horror, but my god you are alive and it is spectacular!

I'm quite confident that it's a Pachanoi, but an extraction should provide the answer. I am going to extract it next week after I decide which tek to use. Ez wrote:I don't think so. Can you elaborate on your comment please?

I have a few of the exact same type of cacti (also with the exact same pot, I even think we got it from the same place ) and I have tested it with the TLC kit: no mescaline. When I discussed that with ouro, I remember that he told that the 'notches' on the top gave away that it is a PC. I'm not sure though if that is always the case. Kind regards, The Traveler

Kind regards, The Traveler That would be a pity. I'm still pondering whether to extract a part of it to determine if it really had no mescaline. I can always use it afterwards as a well rooted grafting stock for my proper mescaline containing cactus (see attached pictures).

Sorry to bump it up but based on the OP description and the pot used this might be the same cactus I just bought from a dutch online marketplace. He is specialized mainly in african plants. I got two variants from there though which look quite different. @ Traveler: did you test the plant material itself or an extract and did you do a reference test with a known active cactus to cancel out TLC errors?
