Cactus and Succulent ID help please

Post by el48tel »

I got these at a recent Branch meeting - some purchased and some in the raffle. Some other plants came with accurate labels or I've managed to identify
#1 I have no idea
#2 is labelled as Haworthia but which I know not
#3 I think is Aeonium arboreum var. atropurpureum cv Schwarzkopf (Zwartkop)
#4 I think is an Opuntia - but which I know not
#5 I think is an Echinopsis but which I know not

Endeavouring to grow Aylostera, Echinocereus, Echinopsis, Gymnocalycium, Matucana, Rebutia, and Sulcorebutia. Fallen out of love with Lithops and aggravated by Aeoniums.
Currently being wooed by Haworthia, attempting hybridisation, and enticed by Mesembs.

1. is a Stapeliad - maybe a Huernia such as H. aspera. As ever, a flower would help.
2. ?
3. Correct, A. Zwartkop
4. Opuntia monacantha f. monstruosa variegata
5. Not sure, could well be Echinopsis. A photo from a high angle would help. Shots from vertically above aren't always as helpful as a diagonal downward angle.

I think #1 is a rather etiolated Euphorbia suzannae...

I agree 1 is Euphorbia suzannae,
and my guess for 2 would be a form of Haworthia retusa. Where's Bill when you need him?
3 is indeed Aeonium 'Zwartkop'.
4 could be Opuntia monacantha - the variegated form is often seen.
I'll pass on 5.
