[quote="Mike"]well, the first one is Neochilenea carrizalensis, referred to Erioscye crispa var carrizalenis by Katterman in his book, and to eriosysyzoides atroviridis by NCL. Nice flower
What a beauty! The yellowish flower colour might be not really typical though.
Has anyone got any crispa (eriosycoides) species that also have a yellowish tinge to it?

The New Cactus Lexicon has crispa and eriosyzoides as separate species. Says crispa is whitish with red midstripe, pcture matches. Eriosyzoides it says pale brownish, and ssp atroviridis whisish or yellowish red. Pcs doen't show much brown, yellow striped or brown red striped.
Here is one I have as eriozyzoides

Here is a picture of Eriosyce crispa ssp. atroviridis v. atroviridis FK 65-77(Kattermann)or E. eriosycoides ssp. atroviridis (New Cactus Lexicon). I think they mix up the what Kattermann namend crispa v. atroviridis and kunzei v. transitensis. I have never been to chile but Kattermann devides the two species by the altitude they grow, with crispa species being the lowland plants and kunzei v. transitensis being the higher altitude ones with transition from one to the other at about 800 m obove sea level.
This is another crispa (Kattermann)species.
E. crispa ssp. atroviridis v. huascensis.
With short spines and 1 central spine up to 15 mm long. Body is described as subglobular.

Hi
First a question re Katterman numbering. Plants I have are like Jen's systmen, Ihave one as 65-77 as he does, tho quite differnt. But in his book, he uses a different system, crisp picture is just FK-78, atroviridis pic is FK-65. Does anyone know or understand the difference.
Here is my crispa FK 65-77 from Mesa Gardens, very different than Jens.
And I have had two like yours Darryl, both labelled hausensis, one from Miles and one from C&J.
Miles hadyellow flower
CJ has purplish
According to the Katterman book, his key distinguishes var huas as 10-12 ribs, spines to 1.5cm while carrizalensis is 15 ribs, spines to 2.5cm.
