Another Possible Peruvianoid - Identification Help?
    #14600310 - 06/12/11 11:15 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

Hi. I recently came across, like many others I have read about a cactus (or cacti) which looks like it may be some kind of Trichocereus. To me it looks like a Peruvianus or Cuzcoensis and I was looking for some expert advise on what it could be and most importantly - is it active so Here it is:







I'm already quite sure it's not a Cereus or Myrtillocactus Geometrizans as there are cacti which fit these profiles perfectly close by and they are distinctly different. Also it grows from the ground completely unlike a Stetsonia Coryne from what I can see and it's areoles don't mach, Finally the skin doesn't mach the frost blue of the Pilosocereus Azureus nor the spines with the golden orange.

  My main concern keeping me from certainty is that I have read that the Trichocereus genus do not fruit and whilst this particular specimen has no fruit, there are many virtually identical cacti in the area which do. At least they look like fruit to me. I don't know if it's true about them not fruiting, if I could have mistaken a seed pod as fruit, if this particular cactus is different from the fruiting cacti around, or what on earth it could be if it's not a Truchocerues? So I suppose this is where I want help.

  I Have in fact already consumed about 3/4 of a foot of one of the flowering cacti and nothing happened but I wonder if A). I ate enough B). I prepared the brew properly C). If my flowering cactus was inactive but the one pictured is different and possibly active.

  It looks a bit skinny in the pictures but when slicing the previous one it had a distinctly more like this Trichocereus: http://www.erowid.org/plants/cacti/images/cacti_preparation5_6.jpg than a Cereus like this: https://files.shroomery.org/files/09-008/490479909-torch2.jpg

It's a Stenocereus...  probably S. griseus.  (they've got tasty fruits though,  Comparable to dragon fruits.)

Thanks for the fast reply, that's really helpful. Just for future reference - how might I distinguish Stenocereus species from those of the Trichocereus genus, other than the fruit?

The best way is to see a lot of pictures/live plants of both genera until it becomes intuitive. 

Until then, the cross section of the ribs works well.  Stenos will have triangular ribs while trichos will have fat, bulging ones. 

Head over to cactiguide and check out pictures of both genera.  They group trichos under the Echinopsis heading, just a heads up.

HW is spot on with the ID.

As for telling it apart from Trichocereus, the ribs are obviously not Trichocereus--they're too skinny.  Also the pattern/color of the spines screams S. griseus.
