Just bought these plants at a cactus show here in the Netherlands. Some don't have an ID yet:

1. Parodia ?
2. Mediolobivia canalensis
3. Aylostera species (Rebutia?)
4. Ariocarpus fissuratus?
5. Astrophytum asterias
6. Astrophytum myriostigma
7. Lophophora williamsii(or fricci?)
8. Edithcolea grandis
9. (the black one
10.
11. Aylostera albipilosa (Rebutia fiebrigii?)

I'm aware that Aylostera is part of the Parodia family now.

Some closer looks:

Thank you for your time!

#4 Ariocarpus retusus
#5 could be an Asterias x Ornatum hybrid
#8 I don't think is an Edithcolea, Edithcolea doesn't have angled stems.
#9 could be an Eriosyce sp.

#9 - Eriosyce occulta ?
#10 - Parodia ottonis ?

Aylostera is not part of the Parodia family, you probably meant the Rebutia family, where people like David Hunt and others in the past placed it based solely on morphology (the look of the plant). However DNA Sequencing has now proved it comes from a different line of ev0lution to Rebutia and should not be sunk into it. Aylostera is a valid but not related genus, simply looking similar to Rebutia's due to inhabiting similar habitats.

See:-

As Salazar says, the Ariocarpus is retusus not fissuratus which has little papillae and fissures on the tubercle, hence the name.

I meant Rebutia indeed, sorry for the confusion. And I'll stick to Aylostera insyead.



Thanks to everyone for ID-ing!

[Salazar]

No problem

I'd say it's a Lophophora williamsii, but wait for the flowers.
#9 is rather Gymnocalycium mesopotamicum, or some related species.
The sharp ribs on your Astrophytum asterias make me think of hybrid origin.
Look out for red spider mite, your #3 looks very suspicious.

[Gypscoprotheres]

Thanks! I'll check out number 3 when I'm back home. It might be some dirt, because it traveled by train and bus for more than 2 hours.

A hybrid... I really like the appearance of this plant, but I prefer to have "pure" species. Dunno if I'm weird with this...

Aylostera albipilosa should be 11... First post is edited.

[Lucy_V]

# 9 possibly Eriosyce (heinrichiana ?)
#10 possibly Notocactus (uebelmannianus?)

[jfabiao]

Oops, made a mistake. I meant #10 is Gymnocalycium mesopotamicum (or similar), not #9.

[DaveW]

If your weird Gypsco so am I since I prefer species. Cacti are varied enough anyway without man trying to turn them into hybrid garden flowers.

Number 11 is certainly not Aylostera albipilosa as this is a densely white spined species as the name suggests (albi = white, pilose = covered with long soft hairs). This is my A. albipilosa.
