Description

Echinopsis pachanoiSN|8470]]SN|8470]] more often known asThe cactus in full bloom is found depicted cryptically on two thousand-year-old shamanic textiles of the Chavin culture, albeit in its idealized form, with only four ribs. It is still believed by Peruvian shamans to this day that the four ribbed San Pedro cactus is the most potent, however, no actual modern-day specimens have ever been documented in nature. The sacred four ribbed “Cactus of the Four Winds” is sometime observed in cultivation, but four ribbed growth is an anomaly and this plant is quite uncommon.
