Hello,
We are a small public Garden in Barcelona that frequently receive cactus and succulent plant donations.
Thank you in advance for help in determination of these cactus.

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.

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,
Pics one and three are Neobuxbaumia polylopha, four is Vatricania guentheri and two I cannot help with.
