Well Wilkos have got them back in... and I immediately fell for this one! I am thinking it might be an Echinopsis, if so which species? Or if not what is it please? It has very small upturned spines (almost like a claw) and others around the outer edge of each areole.

Tending more towards cacti :D, particularly Gymnocalyciums, Rebutias, Sulcorebutias, Echinopses, Thelos, Feros and Mamms (and anything else I like the look of!) all in an 8 x 6 polycarb greenhouse and a few windowsills!

Re: ID help (again!) please! A mamm?

Post by Maria J »

I also got a M. Carmenae in flower.

The cactus pictured below I got in my local GC, and luckily, they'd just had a delivery! I think this could be M. descipiens ssp camptotricha (spelling?), but the spines are quite dark at the ends...
Any ideas please?

Re: ID help (again!) please! Another Mamm?

Post by Maria J »

Another one from the local GC, it looks as though it might be a Mamm, but have no idea which! Can you help please?

Re: ID help (again!) please! Copiapoa???

Post by Maria J »

The epidermis of this cactus is actually much more of a dark olive green than portrayed in this picture (taken under fluorescent lights...). I'm thinking it may be a Copiapoa. Is it? Which species please? Or is something completely different?
(I also got an A. Victoriae Reginae & another Mamm in bud (will post a pic for ID once taken!!)

The Echinopsis is what was E. subdenudata, now subsumed within E. ancistrophora.

Thanks Phil!
(quite different to the E. Ancistrophora I already have which has quite long spines!! E. Subdenudata seems more appropriate!)

M. decipiens but looks too tidy for ssp camptotricha. Ssp albescens perhaps?

The next one maybe M. pettersonii?

Not a Copiapoa but another Mammillaria. Perhaps M. magnimamma. Or M. polythele?

The last one looks like Mammillaria winterae to me Maria. Definitely a Mamm anyway.
