Dennis:
According to The Plant List, most of Wilcoxia has now been moved to
Peniocereus or Echinocereus. See http://www.theplantlist.org/
tpl1.1/search?q=wilcoxia. A few haven't yet been moved because their
provenance apparently hasn't been resolved. If you have a source for these
books, also see Anderson, Edward, "The Cactus Family," 2001; and Hunt,
David (Ed.), "The New Cactus Lexicon," 2006. Both placed ALL of Wilcoxia
into Peniocereus or Echinocereus.

Subject: [pbs] genus Wilcoxia

My newest plant obsession is fragrant cactuses (especially the tropical
epiphytes) which are definitely OT for PBS. However, while searching for
sources for the more obscure varieties I encountered the genus Wilcoxia.
These are cactuses with tuberous roots like Dahlias. They're fascinating!

Are PBS members growing these? I can't find any record of them being
offered in the BX. The PBS wiki does have a page for a related genus, but
not for Wilcoxia:

My first attempt is going to be Wilcoxia schmolli. I just ordered some
seeds. Some cool pics of it can be seen here:
