Chamaecereus silvestrii | Peanut cactus

Cactus Garden, Lotusland, CA

Ch. silvestrii was first collected and described in 1896 as Cereus silvestrii by Italian-Argentinian botanist Carlo Luigi Spegazzini in the mountains between the provinces of Tucuman and Salta, Argentina.

However, subsequent expeditions to the area failed to find the species Spegazzini had collected and it is unknown whether the species has gone extinct in the wild since the initial collection.

Sometimes, my desire to collect weird planters get out of hand.

so small. so nubby. we’ll see if they like my house enough to put down roots here.

My peanut cactus is suffering from east coast exsistence, but I still think he’s pretty neat.

New house plants!

I’ve got a jade plant, a peanut cactus, a string of buttons and a molded wax agave.

Found this ugly little thing labeled ‘Chamaecereus hybrid Ragar muffin’. I haven’t been able to find anything by that name online, but this almost looks like a monstrose peanut cactus. Either way, he’s my pet now.
