I'm hoping for this to be a thread, that people can post pics of unidentified cacti, so that we can get a lot of pictures in one place. I have several pictures that I will be uploading in the next couple hours to get this started right.

[rocketman]

That is actually a very good idea! :cacti:

[rocketman]

Ill start a sticky for cacti ID questions and answers, thanks for the great idea!

Not peruvianus. Peruvianus has creame colored areoles fading to a tan. It has Reddish spines when new to fading to a amber/tan with age.

What you have there is Trichocereus cuzcoensis

Now I am a bit confused. The newer spines on mine are red/brown, not yellow like the cuzco in the pic. Thanks for your input Irishlion, I've gotta read up on id stuff more

[Irishlion]

Its possible that that is a macrogonus but I don't think so
here is a pic of my macrogonus tell me if this looks like what you have



or







Those are all trichocereus macrogonus, all the same plant actually.
Looking at my pics I have, It could be neither torch nor cuz thats its infact a hybrid of them both but, I am pretty certain its a cuz. The white areoles are a dead give away. Torchs areoles are real cream color and fading to a tannish with age. Before I say for certain what it is will you please provide unclose pics, like the ones I posted above. Full plant pic, top pic, upclose pic of areoles (new and aged as they change in color with age)?

I think it looks similar to the macrogonus, maybe a torch/macro hybrid of some sort? Anyways, here are some more pics...

Hey, these are two pics of a cacti a friend of mine gave me recently. He said "This is definitely San Pedro" and I'd just like an official identification. Awesome thread, by the way!

That Diffently isn't a pedro or and trich for that matter, It looks like cerues peruvianus or the queen of the night.

Thanks man. I did a few quick searches and it certainly looks similar. Although, all the pictures I found, the areolae are a much lighter colour than the ones in the picture. Is there any explanation for that?

[EviX]

This is a T. Peruvianus, right??? =D

Hi! It's a Pilosocereus azureus, for sure.

[EternalLove]

soon i am going to my friends who has all my cacti.
some of them might be entheogens but i doubt it.

[teesus]

Hi! It's a Pilosocereus azureus, for sure.

no, not Pilosocereus, its really a tricho.
the hair you are seeing on one areole might be spider web, but apart from that it has not the P. azureus look
