help on IDing cactus seed

[Sam]

hi there,

i got 2 packets of mixed cactus seed. i wonder if anyone could provide
me with some pointers on how to ID them.

both packets were from different brands but they contain the same
three types. i take this as that either they are the 3 most common or
cheapest seeds or that they are the threee most easy to grow.

-one type looks like a small shrivelled pea.
-the other is small, black and shiny and bean shaped. reminds me of a
flea without legs
-the other is similar in shape and colour but much larger.about 5mm
long

Any idea what they are? Thanks

Sam

i think they are Pachycereus pecten-aboriginum . i found a photo which
matches the germinated seedlings
