Re: 'some' new plants
thank you for the information and the seedling pics, I guess I will call it p. marayesensis then!
apparently it does! I have two pups near the bottom of the scionPyrrhocactus don't do pups! Maybe it will on a graft

Re: 'some' new plants
yesterday I went on a field trip with our local cactus club, we visited three hobbyists and one professional grower, here are some more plants I brought home:
echinocereus scheerii
echinocereus viereckii ssp. morricalii
gymnocalicium ferrarii
sulcorebutia purpurea
a stowaway
sulcorebutia rauschii
sulcorebuta NOID #1
sulcorebutia NOID #2
sulcorebutia tarabucoensis L382
weingartia aureiflora, an absolutely nonsensical name (almost ALL of them have yellow flowers!) I'll have another field day determining what it really is
I'm guessing lanata
weingartia multispina
echinocereus scheerii

Great stuff!
Amazing how many different names for Weingartia there are when you consider that some sources list them all under one species. Very extreme disconnect between the lumpers and splitters here.

Re: 'some' new plants - even more new plants!
oh, now you've got me going! 
I don't know what they had in mind lumping weingartia and sulcorebutia like that, with such diversity there's plenty that merits species status for a LOT of different plants
it wasn't under one species though, actually there are three: neocumingii group, neumanniana group (north and south) and browsing through the guide I found the remnant of the sulcorebutia genus containing one plant, s. krahnii, an obvious weingartia.
I strongly strongly strongly disagree with this superficial lumping, same goes for what they did to eriosyce, parodia and echinopsis, but weingartia is definitely the most extreme example
