Lophophora alberto-vojtechii at a glance

I recently received the 2008 (2) issue of the Cactus & Co journal describing a new Lophophora species, Lophophora alberto-vojtechii. The mature plants of the lilliputian species are less than 2 cm (0.8'') wide and the flowers are said often to be larger than the diameter of the plant.

  2. L alberto vojtechii is recombination of NO valid description L. koehresii. The reason why description was made by Czech botanist in C S magazine was exhibition of authors ... :-(

  3. Well, I have to say that I personally think the description is pretty convincing. According to Marlon Machado preliminary results by Martin Terry also seem to confirm that there are indeed five good Lophophora species. I guess we'll all be wiser when Martin publishes the results of his DNA studies.
