Cacti & Succulents

Help identify cacti please

9 years ago

Hi,
i just bought 10 cacti which i do not have yet in my collection. I think some of them are from the mamillari and gymnocalycium family but not the actual name. The others I'm not sure. Below is a photo of them - i numbered each one for ease of naming. Thank you very much

It is amazing how many cactus are out there without a name. I'v bought many my self.
Here are my best guesses.
1 Stenocactus multicostatus
2 Mammillaria bocasana
3 Mammillaria. comptotricha
4 Parodia scopa ?
5 Gymnocalycium ?
6 Mammillaria
7 Mammillaria
8 Melocactus
9 Coryphantha andreae ?
10 Parodia
All these should have a question mark behind them. I'm a long way from being the last word on cactus I.D.s.

I think bob61 nailed it for cacti 1,2, 3, 4 & 9. I compared them to the actual and they are an exact match. As for the others i also did some googling,

5. Gymnocalycium capillaense?
6. Mammillaria boolii?
7. Mammillaria crinita?
8. Melocactus lemairei

i still can't find the exact specie for the rest.
