| From a local plant shop.
The shop owner has no idea. I did a search tonight and the best guess I have is pachycereus grandis, but I think I'm wrong. It doesn't quite look right. Any clues? Thanks. Waz |

| Stenocereus griseus? Kate |

| Whatever it is, it is very healthy looking, and very nice!! :-) Bill in SC |

| I believe cactus Kate is on to something! In my book it gives it a rather antiquated genus: Cereus (Ritterocereus) griseus. It has probably been lumped into the Stenocereus clan since the date of publication on this book. I have seen these cultivated widely by cuttings. |

| I think Kate has nailed it. I did a google with Steno... Griseus. Slight difference in the color of the spines at the apex, but I must agree. Thank you VERY much! |
