Trichocereus Terscheckii 'Rod' ~*

From Backebergs Trichocereus Lexicon, T. terscheckil (Parm.) Br. & R. (1)
Ba. eventually ± tree-like, to 12 in h., trunk to 45 cm 25; branches parallel, ascending, over 15 cm 25, intense green; Ri. 8—14, to 4cm h. ; Ar. 1.5cm 25, to 3cm apart; Sp. 8—15, subulate, to 8cm long., yellow; H. 15—20 cm long., c. 12 cm 25, white, with brown H.—N. Argentina (Catamarca; La Rioja; Tucuman; Salta; Jujuy).


Recieved this beauty today from a private collector. Looks to be shorter spined than my other small Terscheckii. Love these plants, slow growers but end up giants. :)
