This material has seen such radical expansion for the 3rd edition that Sacred Cacti now exists as three volumes: San Pedro (Part B), Sacred Cacti (Part A), and Cactus Alkaloids (Part C).<br /><br />San Pedro has been updated to reflect the acquisition of many obscure papers. It has also been greatly enlarged with hundreds of photos to help enable the reader to better recognize, or at least understand, what they may encounter in horticulture or in the field. <br /><br />This book is presently the single most comprehensive and detailed review & reference compendium that exists concerning the San Pedro cactus (<span style="font-style:italic;">Trichocereus pachanoi</span>) and its relatives.<br /><br />If readers liked Sacred Cacti (2nd ed.), San Pedro will blow them away.”<br /><br />The book is available from <a target="_blank" href="http://www.entheobiblica.com/03.13-MOKSHA-Trout-Notes-San-Pedro.htm">Moksha Press</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22656620-114099319582682818?l=sacred-cacti.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sacred Cactihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09585778916814674943noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22656620.post-1140367244688271172006-02-19T05:40:00.000+01:002006-11-12T01:29:30.053+01:00The <a href="http://www.troutsnotes.com/" target="_blank">Trout’s Notes</a> web site has an interesting <a href="http://www.troutsnotes.com/sc/Rare_Cacti.htm" target="_blank">taxonomic profile</a> page with lots of photos and taxonomic information on common and rare <span style="font-style: italic;">Trichocereus</span> species.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4062/2308/1600/flowering_trichocereus_bridgesii.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/4062/2308/320/flowering_trichocereus_bridgesii.jpg" alt="Flowering Trichocereus bridgesii" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Flowering Trichocereus bridgesii</span><br /><br />There is also a discussion of the taxonomic and nomenclatural chaos resulting from the <a href="http://www.troutsnotes.com/sc/Trichocereus_List_0.htm" target="_blank">submersion of <span style="font-style: italic;">Trichocereus</span> as a subgenus of <span style="font-style: italic;">Echinopsis</span></a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22656620-114036724468827117?l=sacred-cacti.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Sacred Cactihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09585778916814674943noreply@blogger.com0
