Yes Ray, it's true, the flower of P. megliolii is always bright yellow.

Re: First Pterocactus of the year
Hello Ralph,
Ptero. SAR 821 is a spec. from west of Fiambala. It still has no name. But I'm sure someone will describe it at someday.

Ray,
your P. megliolii seems to be a wonderful P. gonjianii.

Re: CactusWorld (Dec 2023) Copiapoa
When I read the description of C. saxifraga, I was not sure whether it was the same locality as Ritter's C. calderana var. spinosior. But Roger's comment about the Thelocephalas made me unsure. I know of no better place to find T. krausii than there. But there are several interesting localities for ...

Re: Copiapoa coquimbana var. pendulina
Yes, the range of variation in C. coquimbana forms is quite large. I do not find it easy to identify Copiapoa plants without a label and without concrete information about their origin.
But one thing is pretty certain - they will flower yellow and are all beautiful.

Re: Copiapoa coquimbana var. pendulina
Your plant looks unusual for the taxon (spines and epidermis colour). Here is a typical plant south of Fray Jorge NP that we visited last year.

Re: Pterocactus spec.nova
OK! Neither P. araucanus nor P. neuquensis - looks very much like P. valentinii.

Re: Pterocactus spec.nova
Hello, Chris, a picture of your plant would help to solve the problem. We have been around Bajada del Agrio several times and all Pterocacti that we found there were either P. valentinii or P. fischeri. We have never seen P. neuquensis or P. tuberosus in that area. The most northern distribution of ...

Re: Setiechinopsis mirabilis ..... and quite a few questions
Hello, perhaps this story that Roberto Kiesling told us explains the questions around Setiechinopsis mirabilis: The plants usually grow in slightly saline soil. When it rains heavily, the salt is washed into the lower layers, the seeds germinate and the plants grow, flower and produce vast ...
