Very nice and rare One! Trichocereus Lamprochlorus. There is huge confusion around this species but as far as i can tell it from the first Pic, this is absolutely correct. Please note the similarity to Trichocereus Candicans.
The plant that Ben and his colleagues were visiting in Cochabamba in Bolivia is a very big deal, given the fact that this is actually one of the few locations that the plant, that we know as Trichocereus Lamprochlorus, grows in nature. There is another species that was described under that name, which actually is Trichocereus Neolamprochlorus. This plant does not grow columnar like this type and grows in small groups of plants that are up to 1 meter tall. Trichocereus Neolamprochlorus is not anymore considered a species but there is a very large number of plants labeled Trichocereus Lamprochlorus or Trichocereus Neolamprochlorus and it´s good to keep that in mind. This plant here is what the modern taxonomy understands as Trichocereus Lamprochlorus. Trichocereus Neolamprochlorus on the other hand is very close to Trichocereus Candicans.
Unfortunately, there is no pic of the flower but it should flower in white.
Sacred Succulents collected some Seeds and assigned the collection number BK10508.4 Trichocereus lamprochlorus, but so far, i havent seen any plants grown from this seed yet.
