Help identifying San Pedro

[whitemilk661]

Was wondering if I could get any help identifying San Pedro. The spines come in groups of 3's mostly, and sometimes 5. The flower was on the top originally in the third picture, but it fell off. Any knowledge on the subject would be appreciated.

Yes that's pedro, backeburg clone to be exact. It'll be pretty old too if it's flowering.

What does backeburg clone mean exactly?

wow, that's quite a specimen you've got there!

that'd surely be one hell of a trip if you ingested it.

It means it's been cultivated from cutting by a specimen brought back by Curt Backeburg, a cactus grower and taxonomist. They're the most commonly available T. pachanoi, although there is some speculation that they may not be true pachanoi. They are fairly high in mescaline content, assuming it's been grown well.

That's definitely san pedro, no question about it.

I wasn't disputing this, merely being more specific about the origin of the cultivar/clone.
