Cactus for identification please

Post by rodsmith »

I picked this cactus up at the Stoke meeting on Tuesday. No-one there could positively identify it and neither can I. The clump is about four inches across. Can anyone help please?

Looks like Lobivia rauschii (Echinopsis yuquina).

I agree with Phil. Just what I thought first when I saw it.
