What do you call the columnar cactus in your 3rd picture?

I forgot to put names on my photos it is a Trichocereus knuthianus this is a Aussie clone that differs a bit from the ones that are found in the USA. I realy like this plant as it is a little bit different in its rib structure with the heavy notching.

Thanks Gemhunter. :)
The last one is a Myrtillocactus I believe and it just pupped from the top there was no damage to the tip that I could see. I just presumed it grew this way. I have four pieces of this plant that where rescued from a garden that was being dug out. This is the only one that has pupped the rest have grown quite fat to the point of one splitting.

Cheers

Don't forget, voting is running a little bit later this month so you still have time to vote for your favorite photo! Voting runs until the 5th of November.

Here are some ribs to look at until then:
