Echinopsis chamaecereus x Chamaelobivia - 5 seeds

5 x seeds of a peanut cactus crossed with an existing peanut cactus hybrid (chaemolobivia)

Peanut cacti aren't able to produce seeds of their own since all specimens in cultivation are clones of the first (and last) recorded plant and because they cannot self pollinate, pure peanut cactus seeds cannot be produced , The original specimen that the cultivated peanut cactus derives from was never found and no other individuals were ever located. Its almost certainly extinct in the wild, only a few wishful optimists believe it still exists somewhere in the mountains of argentina . Variants of peanut cactus are all from either random genetic mutations such as variegated variant, or mislabelled as being peanut cactus while in reality they have mixed lineage (mixed with lobivia)

Hybrids with lobivias are common (called chaemolobivias) and in this cross an existing chaemolobivia (left in the image) is used as the pollen donor for a pure peanut cactus to generate what is essentially a backcross. These seeds, which have been tested and show about a 60% germination rate, should yield a plant with more peanut cactus traits than of the chaemolobivia parent. Peanut cacti form long trailing stems while chaemolobivias are typically stocky and produce much more flowers
