Echinopsis chamaecereuspeanut cactus. A trial with recently purchased Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone. Cropped from 7712 x 4452 px original. Aspect ratio remains 16 x 9 . After three tries, I think I have finally came up with the current name. Chamaecereus silvestrii is a synonym still in use by many cactus people. My first identification as a Mammillaria was an error.
