Trichocereus Harrissima (NN)
Alright, it´s obvious that this species is a nomen nudum. Which means it´s a bad name that isn´t accepted and lack a real description and is also false because the plant is actually a Trichocereus Purpureopilosus.
Trichocereus Purpureopilosus is an amazing cactus that is used extensively in hybrid cultivation and many breeders use it because of it´s beautiful appearance. On top of that, it´s flowers are really beautiful too. It flowers in white and I wrote a whole lot more about this species on the page about it.
Synonyms: Trichocereus Brevispinulosus, Trichocereus Purpureopilosus.
I am currently not sure where the name Trichocereus Harrissima came from but I suppose it goes back to a nursery or shop who offered this plant under that name. The name could also be related to the genus Harissia, but I really lack any info about it. A google search only brings up a couple of pics on various sites but no info about the background of the plant.
