I am not a professional botanist nor an expert in Cactaceae or Copiapoa taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. Photos are for reference only. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and others web-sits. It's been very helpfully, but I have more work to do. Please read the front page of the web-site for ordering information. I only ship to US addresses (50 states & her territories). No international shipping.
