description_en: Genus of 2 species of columnar, perennial cacti from hilly lowlands in Peru. The pale green stems, occasionally many-branched, have 3- to 5-angled, warty or scalloped ribs and small, spiny areoles. Tubular-bell-shaped, nocturnal, white to red flowers develop from a small, stem-like, fleshy receptacle tube bearing spiny areoles. This tube encloses the inner parts of the flower, and is split by the emerging perianth. Elongated, 4- or 5-angled, pale green fruits contain ovoid seeds. In frost-prone areas, grow In a warm greenhouse; elsewhere, use in a semi-desert garden.
