ID wanted

Can anyone ID this?

[Green2Herman]

I can't wait until we get cheap at home DNA tests. Cactii IDing is a pain in the ass.

It has spines similar to a terscheckii of mine, but the girth isn't right for that particular plant.....

The ribs have some similar characteristics, too.

Is it this://http://trout.yage.net/sc/cuzcoensis_BBG/pages/Trichocereus_cuzcoensis_BBG_JonHanna_1_JPG.htm

JRL: That pic last looks like a few of my plants that I've been told were short-spined peruvians. Same spine pattern as EA posted, but much smaller, imo.

On second thought, maybe when those pups get bigger they might just end up looking like EA's posted example. The spines on the old, blackened base section do appeat to have some size..

I too wonder what it will look like as it gets older.
It is a two-year-old seedling.
What if it is a hybrid between the clones in the following pictures?

Perhaps..that looks very like a Kimnach T. taquimbalensis. That green skin(shiny?). Spines have some dark brown,some in the tips, and at the bases(especially),and a central spine that sticks straight out or a bit down...

     Essentially,there seems to be two varieties out there.yoursl ooks alot like my'clone derived' T.Taquim. only mine is over five ft. now, w/ two pups. Fast grower!!

My other one,BTW,is 'seed grown' and resembles to my eye much more a Terschekii. Flat green matte skin,an` curved spines. Slow grower. I cannot see how they could be the same species....

I took a photo of my Kimnach et al (pachanoi) today


I have never heard of a Kimnach taquimbalensis, did Mr Kimnach collect it or was it named for him?

Here are some links to photographs of T taquimbalensis, which as you suggest is allied with terscheckii, as opposed to the pachanoi/peruvianus complex.

Here is a link to an incredible post by K Trout showing several species.

If the link doesn't work I'll find another way to get you there.

On mine, the aerioles are large, shield like,w/ white fluff. There are 8 to 10 outer spines. In the interior of the aeriole there are three spines,usually but not always longer than the rest. they form an inverted triangle,w/ the longest one closest to central,an` pointing staight out or down the other two point at an` angle to the sides an` up. The skin is darkish,and rather shiny,more so than other Trich`s.

I would love to post a photo,but am, for some reason not able to do so ,as before. i have asked in 'the Site' an gotten  no reply.Nor do I have some outside folder or group to upload directly from.

If wanted,I can perhaps send you a pic.

[EA-1306]

I'd dig being directed or emails, PM me for that.
It sounds cool!

As for reference;Trout`s Sacred Cacti,Part B,- Pages 237 through 239.

I also have a few Kimnach Pachanoi,Love em!! Purty mottled exterior,and very fast growing for me.

 Jus have a more interesting look than a regular Pedro...

sent you the photos..

Damn I wish I had a color edition of Trout's Notes 3rd edition part B "San Pedro"...

Most of Trouts photos in the link I posted are unpublished and not even found at the Trout's Notes website.
