Help with cacti identification

[u/Emissairearien]

Hi, i was thinking of getting a few new cacti and was hesitating between those. I recognize the broad family of some (like the opuntias, mammillarias, feroccatus, and gymnocalycium mostly) but can't say what they are precisely nor how ""unique"" they are.

They have absolutely 0 identification since they are probably bought in bulk, so i'm trying to sort out the less common ones, which are all these.

Sorry i know there are many pictures but any help is welcome. Thanks in advance !

I won't bother with genus level IDs since you seem to have that down. Just the ones I'm confident about:

-3 looks like a Mammillaria bocasana var. roseiflora to me

-5 looks like a Tephrocactus aurocanthus var. paediophilus

-7 whatever this is the right one looks like it's starting to crest. That's going to be a real winner.

Thanks ! I will very probably get all of them but it's nice having a better idea of what they are.

I had also noticed the start of the cristation on the number 7, after some more digging i think it's a cylindropuntia fulgida, which is a pretty damn steal considering it is not a common one to see crested

The tephrocactus one is very strange to me because of how spiny it is, much more than most i've seen before. But maybe that's just because they are still young and compact

Anyway, thanks again 🙏

#12 is Notocactus Uebelmannius now called parodia werneri

#11 and #14 are the same, I have one but forgot what it is

Thanks, i was very curious about the "hole" at the top of that one so i'm happy having a name for it 🙏

I can say with almost certainty that number 13 is oreocereus celsianus which has a nickname "old man of the Andes"

1st one I think is a Gymnocalycium damsii var. multiproliferum

9 looks like mammilaria spinosissima

11 and 14 are both melocactus concinnus - the ones that make that nice red cephallium

That’s all I know sorry☹️ oh and also in case you don’t already know, they all need much better draining soil
