Trichocereus tulhuayacensis Ochoa

tulhuayacensis Ochoa
[Authentic tulhuayacensis]
[Suspected tulhuayacensis at BR's photopoint site]

KK337 is claimed to be tulhuayensis Ochoa by Karel Knize.
His 1999 cutting list listed it as such; "from Cuzco, Huachac, 3200m"

However, his 2000 shipment to us contained 2 quite different plants that were designated KK337 on his invoice.
(The rest of the KK337 present were unlabeled and unordered)
(There were possibly 3 in the shipment but we suspect the presence of an extraneous label in the third case as the number range on the label did not mesh with the number range on the invoice)
All three were accompanied by handwritten labels stating "T. peruvianus"
or "Trich peruvianus"
We assigned these clone numbers B13 & D17a
[& D17b for the third]

tulhuayacensis var. [KK338: Huancayo, Peru 3000m]
[KK338 is also sold by Knize as
peruvianus forma Huancayo: See peruvianus variety page]
