This plant was sold by some large California nurseries as Trichocereus peruvianus. MSS gave this clone the name “short spine peruvianus” which has now become a commonly used description but was once a clone name.

Those same nurseries also sold a Trichocereus peruvianus monstrose which became known as “ short spine peruvianus monstrose.” This plant looks identical to the monstrose version but never shows monstrose growth. I’ve started to call it “the non-monstrose TPM.”

This clone is sometimes available from Cactus Affinity.
