Which of the lasiacanthae?

Post by Cidermanrolls »

This lost-label Mam is clearly from the lasiacantha group, but is there an easy way to tell which one? I grew it years ago from seed and the old label had completely faded out.

These days its easy, as our dear botanists have merged almost everything into a single species, lasiacantha!!!
Notwithstanding that, I think this looks closer to what we used to know as M. magallani.
