    rntx22,
    This is actually a photo of Cereus hildmannianus ssp. uruguayanus instead of Echinopsis pachanoi.
    I can tell because of:
    the number of ribs;
    the thickness and depth of the ribs;
    the angle in which the side branches are growing from the older stem;
    The fact that the side branches have quasi-segmented growth.
    Compare with these photos here:

    Would you like like photo moved to the right page?

    Xeno.

    One more question...
    The spines are shorter than 1/4", aren't they?
    If they are, then this would Not be the subspecies 'uruguayanas'
    It would just be the regular species (Cereus hildmannianus)
