Plant Identification
I have included some photos here of cactus that do not have a certain identification. Most are old and acquired from local nurseries or collectors. The plants will be listed in groups by genus. If some interest is shown I will post some more photos.
Email the web master with your opinion.When a guess is made I will list it below the cactus.
The size is given, width first, height second, of the largest head not including flowers or spines.
The origin if known might be listed.
