The Penis Cactus !! "Trichocereus bridgesii v. monstrosus"
Trichocereus (Echinopsis lageniformis) Penus Agraricum, cutting
Echinopsis lageniformis (Syn. Trichocereus bridgesii) is a fast-growing
columnar cactus from the high deserts of Bolivia. Among the indigenous
populations of Bolivia, it is sometimes called achuma or wachuma.
The Penis Cactus Plant is a monstrose form of Echinopsis lageniformis.
This plant is more commonly referred to as Trichocereus bridgesii, even
though the current scientific name is Echinopsis.
The German name for this cultivar, Frauenglück, is more euphemistic
than its English equivalent; it translates as: Women's Pleasure
As with related Trichocereus species the Penus Agraricum seems to
have a long shamanic tradition of use throughout its homeland.
