description_en: Genus of one species of columnar, rarely branching, ribbed, perennial cactus from stony, rocky sites in E. Brazil. The stems, with rings of bristles at the joints, eventually develop woolly cephaliums at the tips; during summer, the tips bear tubular, nocturnal flowers, followed by ovoid, mid-green fruit, 5cm (2in) long, which take many weeks to ripen. Where temperatures fall below 13°C (55°F), grow S. leucostele in a warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, use in a desert garden.
