Peruvian Torch Identification
    #9814527 - 02/17/09 02:09 PM (15 years, 8 days ago)

Howdy,

I ordered some "trichocereus peruvianus" on ebay because it seemed like a good deal. Anyway, today I got the cacti, and Im not convinced it is the correct species. I did a tiny taste test, and it wasn't bitter like the pachanoi I had at one point was. It also seems skinnier than most pictures Ive seen of torches. And by skinny I mean the ribs. They're very flat.. I'm just hoping somebody here could help me figure out what I have. Here are some characteristics, trying to be as thorough as I can:

6 ribs

groups of 4 brownish spines which are 3mm - 1cm long and, seems like the longer ones tend to lighten in color at the ends

Glaucous coating on the outside of the cactus that is easily rubbed off

The ribs are ~ 3 - 5cm deep towards the center

The cuttings are pproximately 10cm wide


And here are pictures:






Thanks in advance

Peace,

Andy


P.S. Is it okay, and would it be useful, to post the ebay auction?

For future reference, it would be a good idea to get a positive i.d. FIRST before you do any taste testing, despite how small of a taste it may be.
Besides, tasting isnt even close to being a good way of identifying species
