Re: A few Cacti to ID
I'm not convinced that number 7 isn't a Matucana madisonorium. I think I see hair at the areoles, perhaps buds that never got started. But it is heavily marked, possibly by mites at some point.

But the rib formation is typical of Gymnocalycium with chin-like bumps, so I also think it could be G. vatteri.

Spines aren't right for M. madisoniorum, but typical for the single-spined form of G. vatteri.
