description_en: Genus (now incorporating the genus Nyctocereus) of 20 species of thin-stemmed, climbing or prostrate, perennial cacti, sometimes with thick, tuberous roots. They are found in semi-arid areas of S.W. USA, Mexico, and Central America. The branching, ribbed stems usually have only a few spines, and bear axillary, sometimes terminal, solitary, trumpet-shaped flowers, with wide-spreading petals, which open at night in summer. Where temperatures drop below 13°C (55°F), grow in a warm greenhouse. In warmer climates, grow in a desert garden or against a wall.
