The third one might be Neobuxbaumia polylopha. I find these identifications really difficult just because I'm not used to seeing mature cereoid cacti. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Re: What species are these cacti? Please Help!
I think that both the first and third pix show Neobuxbaumia polylopha. Pic 2 looks to be something in the Borzicactus group (or the Borzicactinae). I think pic 4 could well be a species of Weberbauerocereus. There are other people active on this forum who are far more knowledgeable about columnar cacti than me, and I hope that they will respond in time.

As David suggests for first a third, not sure about the other two .

Hi,
