Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I've recently acquired two new cacti exemplars that were sold as just "San Pedro", and which I believe them to be E. peruviana:







What do you think of them? I am at least 99.7% sure they aren't PC pachanois.


Best regards.

I also take this opportunity to share my whole cacti family:

Thank you!

Do you think the aforementioned cacti might be indeed Peruvian torches?

The first 2 photos look like diffetent clones. The 2nd plant looks like some of the spines have been clipped. Both of them look like Peruvianian Torches to me. The 2nd plant has a more typical look for Peruvianus. The first plant is shorter spined than many Peruvianus, but still looks within the range of what you would expect to see. They are both very nice. Most collectors refer to these plants by the Trichocereus nomenclature. Now you need to get some bridgesii Big grin

Thanks! At the least, they should be a cross hybrid between pachanoi and peruviana.

Also, while I do know that Trichocereus is the more popular term amongst collectors, the scientist within me prefers to use the Echinopsis denomination.

And I would most certainly love to get my hands on at least one exemplar of E. lageniformis!

The first one could be a hybrid. The second one looks pure Peruvianus to me.

You know the funny thing is that the science behind classifying Trichocereus as part of Echinopsis is pretty shaky, thats why so many enthusiasts have rejected the new classification. It will probably be changed back to its own genus in the future. And as a member recently posted here on the Nexus, it is currently acceptable in the scientific community to use either designation.

Best luck on your search for more cacti. Thumbs up
