Eriosyce ID

Post by MikeT »

This rather battered Eriosyce lacks a name. It does look rather similar to a plant of Eriosyce paucicostata; flower colour different though not vastly so. Is there enough here to give an ID?

It's still the green bodied form of E. paucicostata. Flower colour is variable.

Thanks, Dave

That would have been my guess, but I just don't know enough Eriosyce for my guess to be worth much.
