The problem is Copiapoa's as young plants often look quite different to an older plant.

Copiapoa sarcoana was described by the Keime's in Cactus & Co 2012. David Hunt considered it a synonym of Copiapoa coquimbana so it depends if you are a "Lumper" or "Splitter"?

You may need to use "Translate" for these.

I visited the Keim's nursery when I went to Chile in 2015. Both the Keim's are now dead though. I did get to see their C.leonensis in habitat but not C. sarcoana
