Armatocereus Cartwrightianus 1
''Armatocereus'' (from Latin ''armatus'', "armed" and ''cereus'', "pliant/soft") is a genus of mostly tree-like cacti from South America (Ecuador and Peru). These species have a conspicuous constriction at the end of the annual growth. The flowers are mostly white, with a more or less spiny ovary. The fruits are mostly spiny. Description ''Armatocereus'' species are columnar cacti, bushlike or treelike, with cylindrical upright branched stems. The stems have 5–12 distinct ribs, and are made up of sections with a narrower "neck" between them, corresponding to annual growth. The large areoles bear strong spines, rarely few or none. The narrow tubular flowers appear at night, and have a spiny ovary and floral tube and white petals (red in '' A. rauhii''). The red or green fruit is large, globular or ovoid, with strong spines that are lost on maturity. It contains large black seeds, ovoid or kidney-shaped.

Armatocereus Rauhii
''Armatocereus rauhii'' is a tall, branched columnar species of cactus endemic to the north of Peru on the western slopes of the Andes. Description ''Armatocereus'' is a tall, treelike cactus, bluish to greyish green in colour, usually with a trunk to about high followed by upright branches. Depending on the subspecies, it reaches a maximum height of , with branches thick. The stems have 6–12 ribs. The areoles bear about 6–7 short spines, only long – somewhat more spines in the case of subspecies ''balsasensis''. The flowers are long, carmine or purple in colour, with black to red spines on the floral tube. Taxonomy The species was first described by Curt Backeberg in 1957. The specific epithet ''rauhii'' honours Werner Rauh. Two species described by Friedrich Ritter in 1981, ''Armatocereus balsasensis'' and ''Armatocereus arduus'', are included in this species, as synonyms of ''A. rauhii'' subsp. ''balsasensis'', by some sources. Other sources maintain ''A. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhipsalideae
The Rhipsalideae are a small tribe of cacti, comprising four genera (and around 60 species). They grow on trees (epiphytes) or on rocks (lithophytes), where they either hang down or form creeping or upright shrubs. Their flowers open in the day and remain open at night; they may be either radially symmetrical (regular) or bilaterally symmetrical (zygomorphic). The fruits are berry-like, fleshy with smallish seeds. They are found mainly in the east of South America, with a centre of diversity in Bolivia, but some species occur in Central America and North America; one species, ''Rhipsalis baccifera'', also occurs in the Old World. Taxonomy Cacti belonging to the Rhipsalidae are quite distinct in appearance and habit from other cacti, growing on trees or rocks as epiphytes or lithophytes, and are thus easily distinguished. However, for many years there has been confusion as to how to divide the tribe into genera. For example, in 1858 Charles Lemaire recognized the distinctiveness ...

Stenocereus Humilis
''Stenocereus'' ( Gk. ''stenos'', narrow, L. ''cereus'', candle) is a genus of columnar or tree-like cacti from the Baja California Peninsula and other parts of Mexico, Arizona in the United States, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Venezuela and the ABC islands of the Dutch Caribbean. The genus has been enlarged by the addition of species from several other genera. A close relative is the peculiar chinoa or chende cactus, ''Polaskia chende''. Description The flowers are mostly borne near the apex of the stems and mostly nocturnal. They are considered easy to grow and generally grow slowly. '' Stenocereus thurberi'' (the organ pipe cactus) is a well-known member of this genus and is widely distributed in Arizona and northern Mexico. The fruit is similar to a dragon fruit. Those of ''Stenocereus gummosus'', acidic and very refreshing, are highly favored by the Seris of northwestern Mexico who call the cactus ''ziix is ccapxl'' - "thing whose fruit is sour". It is commonly kno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
