Hello. I wonder about this 3 plants. Could you help?
1. It is some Espostoa or Austrocephalocereus dybowskii? I'm not sure
2. Trichocereus?
3. I have no idea what could it be. Some sort of Lobivia?
Columnars and little one
Re: Columnars and little one
1st very young Espostoa (ritteri?)
2nd may be as Oreocereus as Borzicactus as Pilosocereus, difficult to say yet
3rd reminds me Lobivia dobeana
imho
all them better to show 1-2 years later

The generic name "Xiquexique" was new to me, but evidently was validly published.
"Lavor, P., Versieux, L.M. & Calvente, A. 2020. Phylogenetic Relationships of Pilosocereus (Cactaceae) and Taxonomic Implications. PlantNow 1(2): 52–70."
Seemingly Xiquexique was erected as a genus for the former subgenus of Pilosocereus called Grounella:-
"XIQUEXIQUE Lavor, Calvente & Versieux nom. nov. Pilosocereus subg. Gounellea Zappi, Succ. Pl. Res., 3:36 (1994). TYPE: Pilosocereus gounellei (F. A. C. Weber) Byles & G. D. Rowley in Cact. Succ. J. Gr. Brit. 19: 67 (1957). (=Xiquexique gounellei (F. A. C. Weber) Lavor & Calvente)"
You need to scroll to near the end of the following article to get to the erection of the genus Xiquexique :-

Evidently there were some questions originally raised to its validity. Again you need to scroll down the link to read:-
