Ferocactus identification required

Post by **cornelid** » Mon Nov 30, 2015 11:42 am

I have some plants in need of identification, two are Ferocactus and the third I'm not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

First one is Ferocactus latispinus
Second one is Fero. emoryi
The third looks to me like a Melocactus, not sure which species.

I would echo what Neal says for all 3.

Think the Fero is more likely to be Wislizeni than Latispinus.

I'm not sure it's either

Possibly F. herrerae?

I don't think that the first one is Ferocactus latispinus. Quite certain, really.
I do think you are correct regarding the other two.
