Trichocereus scopulicola

The taxonomic distinction

Kew treats scopulicola as a synonym of Echinopsis lageniformis. Keep the horticultural name visible when recording a plant or cross; synonymy does not merge every cultivated selection.

A number is not a clone

A field or seed-source code such as FR991 needs the collector, catalogue and acquisition record to explain it. Multiple seedlings can retain one collection reference while being genetically different. Do not turn a code into a verified clone pedigree without the underlying record.

Practical care

Allow new roots to establish and acclimate plants gradually to your light. Use the growing guide and document conditions for the individual plant.
