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. Wink

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.

Trichos...

To me the echinopsis are the fat little clumpers that throw out nice flowers... Trichos are completely different - columnars!

I reckon that there'll be a taxonomic split again in the future, and Trichocereus will regain its rightful status as a valid genus.

Viva la secession!
