| Thought it might be good to make a poll about this to decide which nomenclature people prefer. I like Trichocereus and will continue calling them by this name. Others may feel differently about this?
Please vote.
If the votes favour Trichocereus, then I propose we all try and use that name to avoid confusion.
That's my opinion anyway.

| Trichocereus is a useful split - and from an entheogen perspective makes sense. 
Echinopsis just seems to be way too generic and too broad a category to be usefully descriptive to me. However, I must confess that I've labelled all my trichs as Echinopsis to comply with the current naming regime. So I'm kind of split between the two... |

| | Tricho is useful as a slang term at least, for better communication. It could be a long time before people stop using it. |

| | i use Trichocereus. The only reason is, i have always called them so and i am not smart enough to switch the way I think....maybe in 30 years if it's still Echinosomething, i will remember. |
