Any tips on identifying Stenocactus?

Post by Brontosaurus »

Sorry if this is in the wrong board.

I have Stenocactus muticostatus and Stenocactus phyllacanthus all mixed together. Neither are in bloom. Is there any way to tell them apart with the number of spines or the number of ribs or anything like that? Thanks!
