No cheating. Easy one first.

Genus is easy, species not obvious.

Genus still fairly easy.

1 is Strombo disciformis
2 is Copiapoa something - perhaps mollicula/humilis/barquitensis or some such? It's not laui - you can just spot some spines that show it's not that one.
3 is Sulco rauschii

OK, so #1 was a bit easy. Karl got #3.

You're all close with #2 but nobody quite got it yet. It does have spines but they're hardly worth the effort.

Does hovering the cursor over the picture and seeing 'hypogaea-0605.jpg' count as cheating?
