description_en: Genus of about 10 species of erect, tree-like, perennial cacti from hilly or low mountainous regions, principally in Peru and Chile. They branch freely towards the trunk base or from nearer the crown, like candelabra, with semi-pendent branches. The tubercled ribs produce prominently spiny areoles. Funnel-shaped, nocturnal flowers have short, rounded petals and densely scaly, often curved tubes. They are followed by spherical to ovoid, dry or juicy green fruits containing brown or black seeds. In frost-prone areas, grow in a conservatory or warm greenhouse; in warmer areas, use in a mixed cactus border or desert garden. They are large, architectural specimens when mature.
