Landfill x Ogun (Yearlings)

Landfill x Ogun (Yearlings)

Landfill,

The one and only. Accept no substitutes. The clone popularized by Chris Mills and originally distributed in large quantities by Mallacht’s Plants . Landfill is a Pachanoi that is suspected to be a true Equadorian clone, but we are not certain about that.  It is quite famous in the Trichocereus community. You can always trust Mallachts Plants for legit Landfill cuttings as well as other reputable growers. Very deep V notches and dark blue/green skin. It was reportedly found on a landfill site where the previous owner discarded the clone (Trichocereus Hybrids by Patrick Noll)

What to expect from this hybrid:

Unique Appearance: Hybrids often combine traits from both parents. This cross could result in a cactus with the monstrose growth of the TPM parent and the bluish color and reduced spines of the Landfill parent. The exact appearance will vary depending on the specific parent plants used and the resulting seedling.

Cultivation: Like most Echinopsis species, this hybrid will likely prefer well-draining soil, plenty of sunlight, and infrequent watering.In summary, "TPM x Landfill" refers to a specific hybrid cactus with potentially unique and desirable characteristics for collectors.

Ogunbodede (The Cactus Cultivar):

• San Pedro Cactus (Trichocereus Pachanoi): This is a columnar cactus native to the Andean mountains of South America, known for its traditional use in medicine and religious practices by indigenous peoples for thousands of years. It's also a popular ornamental cactus.
• "Ogunbodede" Cultivar: This is a highly sought-after and recognized cultivar (a specific cultivated variety) of Trichocereus Pachanoi. It is described as a rare, short-spined pure Pachanoi that originated from the Matucana region in Peru.
• Collector's Item: Due to its history and the scientific data associated with it (see below), "Ogunbodede" has become a "cult plant" among serious cactus collectors and enthusiasts.
• Propagation: Like many San Pedro cacti, "Ogunbodede" is easy to grow and can be propagated by cuttings.

2. Ogunbodede (The Researcher and His Work - "CV" in the context of academic/research contributions):

• Olabode Ogunbodede: This refers to a researcher who conducted significant studies on the alkaloid profiles of various Echinopsis (formerly Trichocereus) species and cultivars, including the "Ogunbodede" cultivar itself.
• Scientific Data and Publication: Olabode Ogunbodede (and his co-authors) published a peer-reviewed article in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (2010) titled "New mescaline concentrations from 14 taxa/cultivars of Echinopsis spp. (Cactaceae) (“San Pedro”) and their relevance to shamanic practice." This paper determined the mescaline concentrations in the stem tissue of various cacti.
• Significance: The research by Ogunbodede et al. provided scientific data on the chemical composition of these cacti, which helped to support the hypothesis that plants with the highest mescaline concentrations (particularly E. Pachanoi from Peru) are most associated with documented shamanic use. The "Ogunbodede" cultivar was among those investigated, and its alkaloid profile was described and compared to others.

In summary, when you hear "cactus CV Ogunbodede," it points to:

• "Ogunbodede" as a specific and highly valued variety of the San Pedro cactus (Trichocereus pachanoi).
• The scientific research conducted by Olabode Ogunbodede and his team on the alkaloid content of this and other similar cacti, which has contributed to our understanding of their traditional uses.

It's important to distinguish "CV" in this context from a "Curriculum Vitae" (a resume for academic/research purposes), though the research itself would be part of Olabode Ogunbodede's academic CV. The usage here is more about the "characterization" or "cultivar" aspect of the cactus that was part of the research.
