Espostoa melanostele vs. Espostoa lanata

Post by Brontosaurus »

Hi, sorry I'm posting so much. I hope it's not a bother. I have a bunch of Espostoa lanata and a bunch of Espostoa melanostele and of course they got all mixed together, and I'm trying to figure out which is which. As far as I can tell, they look exactly the same (except for flowers, and of course they aren't blooming) and I can't find anything online about spines-per-areole or anything like that. Is there any distinctions that you know of that I could look out for? Thanks!
