Two cacti to id

Post by tacrolimus »

Good mornig all.

I looking for some help with these two catcti i can't classify by myself.
Even though i'm far from certainty, i venture the first one belongs to the Eriosyce genus.
On the contrary i was not been able to make any valid hypothesis about the second specimen and for this reason i totally rely on on you for its classification.

Thank in advance for your help and time.
Luigi

I would have guessed Gymnocalycium for no. 1

Gymno saglione (there are a few similar looking Gymnos however) for #1, some Lobivia (not quite wrightii (now say that out loud!)) for #2.

I think G. pflanzii, not enough spines for G. saglionis.
