Gymnocalyciums i.d.

Post by cactuspip »

I have two Gymnos that I grew from seed that do not agree with the names I have for them. The brown coloured plant is supposed to be nataliae, while the greener plant is apparently platygona.

Anyone is welcome to have a guess at their true identities.

I tried to name one similar to that recently and Joel Lode calls it kieslingii.
