Agreed, a small Polaskia chichipe - the skin pattern is very typical.

I don't think Cereus forbesii has a farinose epidermis like that.

Farinose = (botany, zoology) Covered with a sort of white, mealy powder, like the leaves of some poplars, and the body of certain insects; mealy.

Looks like Polaskia to me. Are you sure your other one is correctly named? In any case unless they are clones you do get some variation in every species.
