description_en: Genus of 50-120 species of sometimes shrubby or tree-like, perennial cacti occurring in South America, in habitats ranging from lowland deserts to upland dry scrub. They have mainly spherical stems with straight ribs and spiny areoles. Large, trumpet-shaped to almost bell-shaped flowers are produced laterally or near the ends of the stems from spring to summer. On species native to mountainous regions to 3,000m (10,000ft) high, the flowers are white, yellow, red, purple, or pink, and open during the day; on plants that grow naturally at much lower altitudes, the flowers are mainly white or pale pink, and open at night. In frost-prone areas, grow as houseplants or in a temperate or warm greenhouse. In warmer areas, grow in a desert garden.
