| 'Semi-nudum' is a made-up name for Echinopsis subdenudata (a different nearly spineless plant) distributed by Paradisia nursery. You can find any number of different Echinopsis species and hybrids masquerading under this nametag though. On second glace WT's plant could be a hybrid with E.eyresii.. or just about any other Echinopsis for that matter. 'Echinopsis hybrid' will do  | |
