Here are the known synonyms (there are likely others, but just not confirmed):

Some years ago I took a number of pitaya varieties to Florida and
gave them to several people there. Unfortunately many of them had
not been named and only had numbers such as most of Paul's
varieties. I realized recently that they were subsequently given
names and some are now being sold in nurseries as well under these
new names. So I contacted some of the people I gave varieties to
and the following is a list of what some of the varieties were
named. I thought you all might want to know since some of you may
have duplicates in your collections.

1S = Physical Graffiti
2S = Cosmic Charlie
5S = Purple Haze
9S = Dark Star
Quang Ong Self Fertile (QOSF) = American Beauty
Ben Poier H. poly. (BPHP) = Bloody Mary

I did take other varieties, but these are the ones I know for sure
were renamed.

Best regards,

Sven
