The all are and he knows that, he doesn't seem to want to type the genus name. I don't know the genus well enough yet. The species are a whole lot alike.

I got the help I needed from Iann, thanks Iann.

isn't that a bit paranoid? I've never seen anyone here making a fuss about lophophora species, unless of course one would advertize their ingestion... never happened to my knowledge!

It is likely due to his geographic location and local laws...in much of the USA owning any non-williamsii species is almost nothing to be concerned about with some discretion...in California it is very as all species within the genus are illegal - possession can result in up to a year in prison.

now why would you want the thread locked. It's obvious to anyone that knows cactus what the first 4 plants are.

Missed the L.w. in beginning!

This is probably the most comprehensive Identification page for Lophophora I have ever seen - http://kadasgarden.com/Lophophorachart.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'd agree - L. koehresii

[Peterthecactusguy]

I really could not understand why it should be such a BIG DEAL. He have some Lophos. So what. I have one too. What does that make me? A dealer????

It really shouldnt be a big deal...but I can understand his seeking to be careful. Did you see my post earlier in the thread?

Unfortunately when laws and those who enforce them enter the picture common sense, better judgement, and reality often matter very little.
