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).
Got these off an online vendor who sourced them as Terscheckii 'KK 921' and sold them with a question mark and disclaimer saying they are not likely to be Terscheckii, atleast being honest for once.. Got a few dodgy plants from that vendor that were obviously not what they were supposed to be, and with the proprieters vast knowledge of these plants, it is simply dishonest. Were going cheap and I'm an insatiable cacti whore so picked up 10 of them. I'm hoping they are a hybrid grown from open pollinated Terscheckii seed explaining why they look different to the regular Terscheckii. Look to be interesting cacti whatever they are ~*
