Need help w/cactus ID

sinsimilla69 · 08-06-09, 17:01

I got these off Ebay, for a ridiculously cheap price-which worries me, supposed to be Peruvian Torch...but I have no clue. They all have 8 ribs, and each somewhere between 5 to 8 spines per aeroel. Spike appear to be brownish-to yellowish brown from top to bottom (tried to take as best a pic i could..good camera isnt working) I didn't notice any V-noches (dont really know what im looking for tho), and they are about 8-10" tall. I can't think of anything else...but if I forgot something, just let me know. Thanks.

Looks good to me.

May be a hybrid of some sort.....as the spines are a bit shorter than normal peruvianus. But they are definitely trichocereus sp.
