Yep, strangely enough, I never encountered a pic of it on my own or from anyone sending in.

An Echinopsis Bridgesi

Echinopsis lageniformis is T. bridgesii. not E. bridgesii.

daiv, i think there are a couple photos on this forum now as well as the nice ones above

also my seed pic found here: http://www.cactiguide.com/cactus/?genus ... s=bridgesi

is of Echinopsis lageniformis/T. bridgesii, though you may want to know.

Thanks! I think I almost certainly would have made that mistake!

Daiv, shouldn't the encounterability for the Echinpsis Bridgesi be "Rare" since it is not found in many places?

I'd also include a pic of the more popular monstrose form of T.bridgesii/E.lageniformis, the 'penis cactus' in the Guide for id sake.
here's mine:

and IMO the encounterability of E.lageniformis should be 'common locally in some areas' rather than 'rare', its quite common here.
E.bridgesi, however, is a different plant which I am not familiar with.

here's some more stem pics of Echinopsis peruviana if needed:

Before, I thought that a E. Bridgesi was the same as a E. lageniformis. I've never heard anything called a E. Bridgesi. Does this plant exist?

That's what I'm wondering.

wait, are we looking for an Echinopsis bridgesii or E.bridgesi? i'm assuming they're the same.

E.bridgesii apparently so:

quote from wikipedia 'Echinopsis' entry:
''Most notably, there had previously existed both Echinopsis bridgesii and Trichocereus bridgesii, which are very different plants. Echinopsis bridgesii is a short clumping cactus, whereas Trichocereus bridgesii is a tall columnar cactus similar to E. (or T.) pachanoi. Under the new classification, Trichocereus bridgesii is known as Echinopsis lageniformis.''.

Good info guys - I will make the appropriate changes for this...

I did some research on Desert-Tropicals and the E. Bridgesi is really a Echinopsis bridgesii ssp. yungasensis. It is also short and clumping to on the picture. Man, these names are confusing.
