Pterocactus nequensis
Pterocactus nequensis. Nice to see this one even if it wasn’t quite in flower.

Re: Pterocactus nequensis
Great photos on both threads, I do find nequensis an unusual plant, the stems start out one shape then become rounded and global with age. I was convinced I had been sent the wrong plant at first.

Re: Pterocactus nequensis
That's one for my wants list! I've already got a few other species, making some nice chunky roots, but only a few seem to have tidy top growth.

Re: Pterocactus nequensis
I second that ralph, definitely on my wants list too.
Re: Pterocactus nequensis
I prefer the spiny form of P. neuquensis.

Re: Pterocactus nequensis
I've ordered some seed of Pterocactus and Austrocactus from Nobby, Shame this species wasn't available...

Re: Pterocactus nequensis
Is this a new species? Can't find much on it.
Re: Pterocactus nequensis
Hi Kees,
the plant isn't new. It has been sold for many year as Pterocactus araucanus from Neuquen. As it is different from P. araucanus my wife and I described Pterocactus neuquensis in the September KuaS 2016 together with Roberto Kiesling.
Best regards
Nobby
