Parodia leninghausii (Notocactus leninghausii).

[nick_kurzenko]

Thank you very much. But which of them? Or this is the same species?

[Aeonium2003]

Yes, they both appear to be leninghausii to me.

[nick_kurzenko]

Thank you. Very interesting. They looks like different species.

[anttisepp]

1. Eriocactus leninghausii albispinus
2. Eriocactus leninghausii (common species, per se)

1. Eriocactus leninghausii albispinus
2. Eriocactus leninghausii (common species, per se)

I think you are correct on both forms. I prefer to use the genera name Notocactus. I will never call it a species of Parodia.

[nick_kurzenko]

Thank you so much, "anttisepp" and "Tom in Tucson"

[greenknight]

Yep. both the same species - the spination is quite variable. I also agree that lumping them into Parodia was a dubious notion - the were a generally called a Notocactus when I began cactus growing 40-some years ago. They have other synonyms as well, listed here: https://llifle.com/Encyclopedia/CACTI/F ... ninghausii
